Welcome back! Just want to share this card I made for this afternoon’s class.
Inspired by both the Creative Colours (#138) palette and the Tuesday Morning (#754) sketch, I decided to play with two of my favorite stamp sets which, alas are retiring…Inked & Tiled and Dainty Delight.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 4¼” scored at 4¼”) Balmy Blue cardstock.
- Background Panel: (3¾” x 5”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the now retired Cross Hatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder.
- Accent Mat: (3” x 4¾”) Cajun Craze cardstock die-cut with the (2⅞” x 4½”) Elongated Hexagon die from the Countryside Corners Dies set.
- Focal Panel: (3” x 4¾”) Basic White cardstock.
- The Cornflower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set was inked with Balmy Blue ink and a bit of Boho Blue ink was added by using the Stampin’ Write Marker before stamping.
- The Leaf image from the same stamp set was stamped twice with 2nd and 3rd Generation Blackberry Bliss ink.
- The Line image and the Star image also from the same stamp set were stamped with 2nd Generation Cajun Craze ink.
- The Panel was then die-cut with the (2⅜” x 4”) Elongated Hexagon die from the same die set.
- Sentiment Label: Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, celebrate you, from the Dainty Delight stamp set was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and then die-cut with the smaller Elongated Hexagon die and truncated to (1⅝” x ¾”).
- The Label was then sponged with Balmy Blue ink using a Sponge Dauber.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch and the Sentiment was popped up with Dimensionals.
This is a pretty birthday card. Change the sentiment and you have a nice card for almost any occasion.
Thanks for spending a some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!
