Artistically Inked – Thank you (for the birthday gift)

Welcome back! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Today, I am playing with the Theme and Sketch from Try Stampin’ On Tuesdays (#534); Theme – Seize the Birthday (#238); Colors – Color Throw Down (#692) and Tools – Can You Handle the Pressure (#7).

Here is the result:

ARTISTICALLY INKED – HELLO BEAUTIFUL – TIN OF CARDS – TSOT554 – CYHTP7 – CTD692 – STB238

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Highland Heather cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (5” x 3¾”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Quilt Top Embossing Folder for the Faux Stitching motif.
  • Three Shapes – Flowers: Basic White cardstock scraps.
    • The smaller Floral image from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped three times. Once with Blushing Bride ink and twice with Highland Heather ink.
    • The Flowers were die-cut with the coordinating die from the Artistic Dies set.
  • Additional Leaf: Basic White cardstock scrap.
    • The cardstock was covered with adhesive and then dipped into a box containing Gilded Leafing.  Once smoothed with a brush, the Leaf was die-cut with another of the dies from the Artistic Dies set.
  • Banner Flag: (3½” x 1¼”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
    • The Scrolled Stitching image from the retired Tin of Cards stamp set was stamped along the top and bottom edges with Versamark ink and heat-set with Gold Embossing Powder, again for the Faux Stitching motif.
    • The sentiment, Thank You, from the Hello Beautiful stamp set was stamped in Highland Heather ink.

All of the elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
