Good morning! Happy Thursday and welcome to our hop… We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to create two cards using the Wildly Flowering 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. One is a bit simpler than the other, just to show a comparison.
This DSP is so stunning… love the colors and pretty images too! You notice I took a bit of liberty with the sketch by changin g where I placed the sentiment. I did not want to cover up the flower! Here are the basics:
- Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Misty Moonlight)
- DSP largest layer 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 adhered directly to card front
- Bubble Bath layer 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 adhered directly to DSP layer
- DSP layer 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 adhered directly to Bubble Bath layer
- Sentiment is stamped in Moody Mauve ink on 5/8 x 3 Basic White (Sweetly Scripted stamp set – ONLINE ONLY). This was added with dimensionals
- Embellishment: Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls, 3
For the inside… A layer of Bubb leBath card stock cut 4 x 5 1/4 was adhered directly to the inside of the card. A Basic White panel was stamped with images from the Textured Floral stamp set: Bubble Bath for the flower/ Moody Mauve for the stamen. For the leaves, I inked them with Old Olive ink then used the Mossy Meadow Marker to add some depth and shadow. This panel (3 7/8 x 4 1/8) was added to the inside – and the card was complete.
For the envelope… more of the same Wildly Flowering 12 x 12 DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. On the front, Textured Floral stamp set, Bubble Bath ink for the flower and Moody Mauve for the stamen. This completes the look and coordinates the entire card. :O)
Here is the other, more minimalistic card – no stamping except for the sentiment: Sweetly Scripted in Moody Mauve ink and same Flat Adhesive- Backed Pearls.
This card 2 is so similar, yet, simpler. Forthe beginning crafter, little stamping and supplies needed. Must the sentiment be on dimensionals – no! Must the beginning crafter add embellishments – no! I did because I like the look of layers and depth dimensionals create, and I like the added embellishments, but it is NOT necessary. Use what you have. Could I have added a Linen Thread bow behind the sentiment – on both cards? Absolutely!!! But for this, I kept it fairly simple.
Now, on with the hop… I can’t wait to see what others on the team have created! Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Either way, enjoy the hop! See below how to purchase the products shown in this cardn. – from me!
