Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team shareThis week is a sketch challenge - always a fave for me. I'm in a pretty paper phase so I chose to use some prints from the new to me Floral Impressions pack to create a thank you card. Here's how it turned out.

I started by creating the horizontal panel elements from the sketch using some simple prints, matting white card behind the small floral and leaf print and popping it up on Dimensionals.

Then I fussy cut some sunflowers, leaves and other small blossoms, and created a cluster together with the banner (Stylish Shapes dies) and sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp and die bundle stamped in Pecan Pie ink. This bundle is also part of the same Floral Impressions suite.

Some light and dark green gems complete the front.

 Some more paper strips inside reflect the front too.

Overall a quick and easy design you could make lots of, except for me being a very slow fussy cutter. Take a peek at all the other pretty papers in the Floral Impressions pack that you could use. A lovely mix of larger florals and small supporting prints on the back.

So that's my take on the Just Add Ink sketch challenge. I hope it gives you some ideas to try and that you share them too. Head to the Just Add Ink blog to see lots more inspiration for the challenge and play along.
