Smell the Roses

Happy Tuesday everyone!  This week I'm the hostess for the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I love sketch challenges because I feel like most of the work has been done for me (of course this time I had to come up with the sketch so no break here!)

I colored the image using Copic Markers.  Then I die cut the image with a Stitched Arch frame die from My Favorite Things.

When using a frame I find it easier to glue the frame down first and then lay the center piece inside the frame.  In this case I used the colored image as part of the frame.  There are three coral arch frames underneath to add dimension and color.

 I used Wink of Stella on the fairy's wings to add glimmer and sat her on the frame.

Since I didn't want to cover up my coloring (I can get quite attached to my coloring - LOL) I used vellum for the  banner and heat embossed the sentiment in gold.  The word "the"is a bit hard to read but since this is a common saying I didn't think it was too much of a problem.
