Flourished Madness

Today I was inspired by two challenges - the Midnight Madness Challenge (sketch) and the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (to use black, yellow and one other colour - in my case, green).

I started with a base of yellow bazzill and layered with black and some Kaisercraft Lilac Avenue DP.  The next panel is more black layered with Old Olive - that I pierced around the edge using the Victoria Border Pierceabilities (I don't know if it shows up very well on the photo).  The main panel has been stamped using Flourishes' Sweet Peas stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with markers and a blender pen and cut out with Label 4 Nestabilities.  Around the embossed edge I drew a black line with a fine tipped marker and then popped the whole panel up on foam tape.  Finally I attached some gold cord as per the sketch and added the sentiment.  This sentiment is from the brand new JustRite set called Romantic Sentiments and was stamped in Old Olive and cut with Small Circle Nestabilities.

I've had these Sweet Peas since before Christmas and this is the first chance I've had to play with them!  I bought them through Stampers Dream and the customer service and shipping costs were fantastic!!!  As an Aussie, I will often look for places that have reasonable shipping costs and would highly recommend Stampers Dream to anyone, I was extremely impressed!!!
