Welcome back! Happy Thursday…October already…WOW!
Today’s line-up of challenges: Krafty Chicks (#840) Birthday; Color Dare (#721) Palette; Retro Rubber (#281) Tic Tac Toe – Left Column; and choosing the Sunday Stamps (#395) Sketch.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Peaceful Pine cardstock.
- Distressed Accent Mat: (3¾” x 5”) Basic White cardstock hand-torn on two edges.
- Distressed Background Panel: (3½” x 4¾”) Hydrangea Hue cardstock dry-embossed with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder and then hand-torn on the same two edges.
- Cross Strip Accent Mat: (3⅜” x 1¼”) Peaceful Pine cardstock scrap torn on right edge.
- Cross Strip: (3¼” x 1”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The Splatter image from the retired Irresistible Blooms stamp set (circa 2023) was stamped with 2nd Generation (stamped off once) Peaceful Pine ink.
- The sentiment, Happy Birthday, from the retired Enjoy The Moment stamp set (circa 2021) was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink and then also torn on the right edge.
- Focal Images – Flowers and Leaves: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock.
- The two Floral and Leaves images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set were stamped with Hydrangea Hue and Peaceful Pine inks.
- Using the light Hydrangea Hue and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers, color was added to the Flowers and Leaves.
- The Flowers and Leaves were then fussy-cut with Detail Scissors.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch. Two Flowers were popped up with Dimensionals and a double White Baker’s Twine Bow was added to complete the card.
A pretty birthday card.
