Hello everyone! How are we all doing today? I’m doing great! I downloaded my update to My Digital Studio yesterday and I’m going to play with it over the weekend. There are some really neat new features and you can read all about them here. Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. I was lucky enough to be picked as Ann’s Perfect Prince last week! Thanks Ann! This week’s sketch is provided by Lesley…
I was really happy when I saw the sketch, it gave me a reason to use my Top Note Bigz Die. I don’t think I have used it since last Christmas! The base of my card is Tangerine Tango Card Stock. I used a piece of Tangerine Tango 5/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon that I got from the Clearance Rack a while ago. Under that I punched the edge of a piece of Certainly Celery with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, then I wrapped the edges of the ribbon around that back of a piece of So Saffron and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. A piece of Whisper White is cut out with the Top Note Bigz Die and I stamped the image form the Flowering Flourishes Stamp Set in Certainly Celery. I used the Boho Blossoms Punch to punch out the flowers and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit for the butterflies both in Tangerine Tango. Some Mini Glue Dots keep the on the stamped image and I added some Basic Jewels Pearls to the centers of the flowers. The Top Note is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango. I flagged the ends and adhered it to a piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper and used some more Stampin’ Dimensionals to mount it to the card. I love the bright and cheery color combination and clean design. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card and thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
