Off to today’s post we go and it’s my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…
For my card base, I used Calypso Coral Card Stock and for my background I dusted off an oldie-but-goodie, my “Vintage” Distressed Dots Background Stamp stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla Card Stock. My main image is from the Simply Sketched Host(ess) Stamp Set stamped in Soft Suede and backed with a piece of Gumball Green. The two flags are pieces of the Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper and they are adhered to the panel with SNAIL. The greeting is from the Chalk Talk Stamp Set stamped in Soft Suede and punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch. I used the Circles Collections Framelits to cut out a piece of Gumball Green to back it. Stampin’ Dimensionals hold the greeting and panel to the base of the card. To finish off the card I used the “fork method” to make my bow from Gumball and a Mini Glue Dot to adhere it. Every once in a while I miss one of my stamps, which is why you saw the Distressed Dots today! I appreciate you stopping by to see my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what the other designers have come up with for the sketch and don’t forget to enter your card in the gallery! May you all have a wildly wonderful Wednesday!
