Thanks so Much - Unscripted sketches #104

I'm continuing to use the bright summer palette of colours and the new designer paper and stamps of the summer occassions mini to complete the sketch challenge with http://unscriptedsketches.com/2011/04/unscripted-sketches-104/

Unscripted Sketches #104

The card base is Melon Mambo, layered with Wild Wasabi card stock.  Then I cut a piece of Beyond the Garden Designer Paper and cut it into 2 uneven pieces.  One of the pattern sides was placed on the left side, and the other side of the paper was placed on the right side.  I used the dotted ribbon scallop border punch to punch a ribbon like strip of daffodil delight  to cover the seam where the designer paper was cut.  After attaching that daffodil delight ribbon to the designer paper over the seam, I embossed the entire piece of paper using the square lattice embossing folder (inlaid embossing technique)
The Focal Image: On a strip of whisper White card stock, I embossed the outline leaf stamp from the Fabulous Florets stamp set with Wild Wasabi embossing powder.  I embossed the image of the ?marigold with Tangerine Tango embossing powder.  Both surfaces were wiped with Embossing buddies to ensure the embossing powder didn't get where I didn't want it.
The marigold was cut out and mounted on top of the leaf image using dimensionals.  This piece of Whisper White was matted with Daffodil Delight card stock and attached to the designer paper over the seam line.
The sentiment is from Swirls & Curls Verses and stamped using Melon Mambo ink on Whisper White card Stock.  It is matted with Melon Mambo card stock and attached to the bottom of the card using dimensionals.
