TGIF Challenges {Sketch} & Verve {Thinking of You}

I found a new challenge and wow, is their design team talented! Lots of eye candy over at TGIF Challenges and this week they have a sketch! I loved the sketch and couldn't wait to get inky! I inked up an old Stampin' Up set of mine called Growing Green. This set is long retired but one of my favourites. I inked the "leafy" bit with Copics and then softened the look by creating a frame with vellum. The sentiment is from Verve.

I embossed the background and created a flag piece down the middle instead of the "flag". I hope that it ok! I stamped some French Script in Wisteria Wonder Ink on the purple cardstock and sponged the sides. I love these label dies and I am sad they are retiring. Thank you to the TGIF for encouraging me to dust them off and to use them!
