Here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge. I had a hard time with the background strips but I think this works. The pretty flowers are from the Flower Cart Stamp Set.
The sketch I used is from the weekly Atlantic Sketch Challenge. This was a challenge for sure. I didn’t want the background to be too busy so I stuck with the same color.
Tips & Instructions
Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Four strips of patterned paper - 5 1/4 x 15/16 I used the Pebble Path In Color Designer Series Paper. Adhere the strips to the Basic White layer. I started with both outside strips and adhered them right up to the edge. Adhere the center strips leaving equal amounts of white space between.
Fresh Freesia Layer - 3 3/4 x 3 Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink on the Fresh Freesia Layer. Heat emboss with White Embossing Powder.
Basic White Square - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Stamp the flower pots in Pebbled Path ink. Stamp the greenery in Garden Green ink. Stamp the flowers in Fresh Freesia ink.
Adhere the square to the Fresh Freesia Layer. Wrap a piece of Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon around the layer and adhere to the back. Adhere layer to the card with Dimensionals.
Tie bow with ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.
Add some Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems.
On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4) stamp sentiment and single flower pot in Pebbled Path ink. Stamp the greenery in Garden Green and the flowers in Fresh Freesia inks.
I love how nicely the greenery and flowers stamp together. I stamped the greenery first and it was easy to line up the flowers.
