It is a sketch challenge at Just Add Ink #707…Sketch! My artist friend gave me a print that was a watercolour originally and which she didn’t consider it very good. She suggested that I cut it up to use as a background, which I did, and ended up with about 5 panels of which this is one. Using my everyday detail dies I cut a few circles, taking colours from the background I coloured one and glued the two pieces together . Then I added the Kokorosa sentiment again taking a colour from the background. Before gluing it to the background I trimmed off the edge as you see. This was then glued to the rest. I added some sparkle black to give a border and then added it to the gold card front. The poppies are leftover from a recent sympathy card, not posted as yet, and I added the red bits over the white die cut before adding it as you see here. Embellishments are from Hampton Art.
I quite like the end result and prefer the painting cut up into smaller pieces, rather than as a whole larger picture.

Thanks, I’m getting some unique paper because of my friend and my hubby. They give me what doesn’t work for them.

Your card is lovely, and a fabulous way to use the print. The pops of red flowers over the top are wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink.
