Perfectly Penciled – Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello and welcome back.  Our current challenge at HANDSTAMPED SENTIMENTS (#390) is Color.

Other Tuesday Team Challenges and deadlines are combined with today’s card.

Sketch:  Case-ing Tuesday Facebook Challenge (#358); Theme, Tools and Materials: Paper Craft Crew Challenge (#472); and I am sharing this project with the Colour INKspiration Facebook Challenge (#122) and the Alphabet Challenge (Letter-D).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
• Vertical Strip: (2” x 5”) Tahitian Tide Dotted piece of paper from the 2022/2024 In-Color Designer Series Paper pack.
• Circle: (2⅞”) Basic White cardstock
  • Die-cut with the (2⅞”) circle from the Layering Circle Dies set.
  • Dry-embossed with the same Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
• Focal Image – Flowers and Butterfly: A section of the large Floral patterned piece of paper from the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper pack was cut.
  • The Flowers and Butterfly were colored with Stampin’ Blends.  Large Blossoms – Sweet Sorbet, Small Blossoms – Orchid Opulence, Leaves – Parakeet Party, Floral Centers – Daffodil Delight, and Butterfly – Daffodil Delight and Tahitian Tide.
  • The images were then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
  • For a little bit of shine and sparkle, Wink of Stella Glitter was liberally added but it is difficult to see in the photograph but looks great in person.
• Sentiment Label: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Birthday Wishes, from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
  • The sentiment was then die-cut with the small label die from the coordinating Sending Dies set.

All of the elements were arranged to match the sketch.  The Circle was popped up with Dimensionals as were portions of the fussy-cut Flower and the Butterfly.  Champagne Basic Rhinestone Jewels were added to center of each Flower for maximum bling.

Looking forward to what you will create with these colors…do you have a favorite?  Play along and post your project.
