Floral SFYTT



Jen's got a super cool Sketch For You To Try this week - can't wait to see all the creations this week! I went in a minimal-stamping direction for my sample. The large center flower came from a pad of K&Co die-cut flowers that I found for a ridiculously low price at my local AC Moore last week. The layout, which you can see at i{heart}2stamp, has a series of graduated circles where I've used the flowers. I tried to work in a sentiment somewhere on the front, but it worked much better on the inside. The sentiment is from Because of You by Verve Stamps.



Ready to check out what my fellow SFYTT sisters have made this week? Here are your links:

We hope you'll play along, too! Use Mr. Linky to hook up your creation to Jen's post, and if you upload to SCS, use keyword: SFYTT.
