This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday #642 combined with the ColorMyHeart Color Dare #589 "2 Colors + 1" having to use Royal and Periwinkle and choice of one of the other three colors and my +1 is Sage.
For some time in my stash I had this floral die set, and I now know why I didn't use it right away... oh my, a lot of small pieces and time consuming to put together a floral bouquet. Although I am very pleased with it; it will go back in my stash for awhile.
The flower dies were cut using a combination of Royal and Perwinkle cardstock, with the leaves cut from Sage and using both the light and dark side of the cardstock. The background is Mink, a grey neutral whimsical floral patterned paper, from CTMH Mix-In packets and on the other side the striped paper was used for one of diagonal panels between two royal stitched panels. Sentiment and background were bordered with Royal cardstock and then adhered to white card base and the florals were adhered with 3D thin foam tape to the background for dimension.
On the inside of the card some of the unused pieces of florals cut were adhered to the right-hand corner of the card.
Please hop on over and join us at Try a Sketch on Tuesday and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see how you put your sketch puzzel together... hope to see you there. Then hop on over to Color Dare for their choices of Color Boards, inspiration and how easy it may be to combine challenges.

Even though it was a pain, your bouquet is beautiful. Love the light strip down the middle. It really makes everything stand out.
Such fantastic vibrant blues! Really pretty.
Very pretty - love the colours for the flowers :)
Yes, all the parts and pieces of the blooms are time consuming but when it all comes together it's so pretty and beautiful in the blues.
Lovely card, Sue! The colors are striking and your card is a great rendition of the sketch. Thanks for sharing at Color Dare and TSOT.
