The Die Cuttin Divas sketch challenge for June is as follows:

Here is the card that I created from the sketch above.  I used images by Vicki Boutin at American Crafts.  I colored the images using Pebbles Pearlescent chalks.  I haven’t used these in quite some time and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them!  The sentiment is from the Waffle Flower stampset called Here For You.   It is so versatile for those sentiments of healing and sympathy.

I stamped the background using the flowers from the stampset and I also shadowed the center of the flowers with chalk.  I love the soft affect it gives the flowers.  Before I placed the bird, I embossed the cut centerpiece with an embossing folder by Sheena Douglas.  The centerpiece was cut using some very old Spellbinders dies that I have had many years.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did making this fun card!  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

Happy crafting!
