I saw a sketch challenge earlier this week and really wanted to play with it. I let the ideas mull around awhile and came up with this card. It is based on a sketch challenge over at
Skipping Stones Designs. I began by creating the flowers from purple gems and embroidery thread. As I created them I attached them to the hexagon shapes. (The tags originally were used at a library to tag non circulating items.) Next I cut the purple circle and adhered the flower tags and twine to it. I cut a slightly larger circle from water color paper and used it as a card base. I added the twine around the perimeter of the circle along with tiny holes that I made with a needle. Using the water color paper, I cut a tag, wrote the sentiment with a marker and added the wrapped twine and a bow. I finished by adding tiny purple dots around the perimeter of the tag and the hexagons.
