Graphic 45 Artisan Style layout for Sketches in Thyme

Welcome to this month's inspiration for Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group. I created a companion page from a layout I did last month as guest designer for another blog. It was about my favorite brand which is Graphic 45.  This collection, Artisan Style; was perfect for my photos of downtown Chicago.

Here's this week's sketch.

I cut this image with scissors from a full 12x12 sheet and added die cuts created with coordinating papers.

I did the same here.  

I cut the Cheery Lynn flowers from more decorative coordinating papers. I used plenty of sparkly gems to embellish and added more greenery.

Ingredients:

Graphic 45 Artisan Style and Creative Ideal papers

The Paper Company Peach Shimmer card stock

Cheery Lynn Designs Mehndi Botanical Stem dies

Cheery Lynn Designs Mehndi Botanicals 2 and 3 dies

Creative Memories adhesive backed water color paper

Creative Memories sticker letters

Stampin Up blue adhesive backed gems and pink petal foiled gems
