Sketch Challenge - Simply Zinnia

The Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection is gorgeous. I love zinnias, you cut them for a pretty bouquet and they just keep growing back throughout the summer.

These products are part of the new Online Exclusives that will be available for purchase starting March 5, 2024.

 
 

I made the card for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. Below is the sketch I used. You can click on it to see other cards posted for this week’s challenge.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Old Olive Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4, emboss using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card base.

  • Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (diagonal stripes) - 5 1/4 x 1 and 4 x 1, adhere to the embossed layer.

  • Stamp 3 zinnia images on Basic White in Black Memento ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Wild Wheat on the centers and Light Flirty Flamingo, Light Pumpkin Pie and Light Lemon Lolly on each flower. Die Cut with coordinating dies.

  • Die cut 3 leaves from Old Olive.

  • Arrange and adhere the leaves and flowers on card. I used Dimensionals on the top flower.

  • Add some Brushed Brass Butterflies.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4) stamp flower grouping in Black Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends - Light Old Olive, Light Flirty Flamingo, Light Pumpkin Pie and Light Lemon Lolly. Stamp sentiment in Black Memento ink.

 
 

I love how these zinnias look against the embossed layer and the butterflies just add a nice touch.
