It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fun sketch challenge!

I started by die cutting a couple of stitched vertical strips and then ended up layering them.  That wasn’t my original intent but I couldn’t decide what width I like better so when in doubt – layer!

I knew I wanted a fairly large and bold floral so that I could stamp my sentiment over it and ended up finding this old hydrangea bloom.  I stamped it in bubble bath and love it!  I added the sentiment and then die cut the wonky frame.  I layered everything up and was done!
