Technostamper Sketch 165

Well today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch from Mary Jo’s Technostamper blog.  I also used my Colour Coach to select the colours.  I wanted to use Sahara Sand and when I looked at the Colour Coach the Creative Combination -Sahara Sand, Bravo Burgundy and Pink Pirouette –  sounded really pretty.

I used Sahara Sand card as my base.  Then I took a strip of Pink Pirouette 5cm wide and ran it through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder.  I added a mat of Bravo Burgundy card which has one edge punched using the Scallop Trim Border punch.  I used the Punch Potpourri (Level 1 Hostess) stampset to create the focal images.  I stamped the heart, bird and flower images onto Pink Pirouette card using Bravo Burgundy ink.  I punched each image using the co-ordinating punch – Full Heart Extra Large, Boho Blossoms and Two Step Bird.  I sponged the edges of the heart and all three flowers.

To shape the flowers I used my bone folder to fold the edges of the petals outwards ever so slightly and then using my mat pack and the back end of the Paper Piercing Tool, I shaped them slightly so that they cupped upwards.  I attached the heart and the flower using mini glue dots.  I used dimensionals under the body of the bird.  The bird wing is Pink Pirouette card which has been sponged with Bravo Burgundy ink and attached to the bird body using a mini glue dot.  The greeting is from the Bring on the Cake stampset (released in the Autumn/Winter mini on 1.4.11).  I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position correctly and stamped using Bravo Burgundy ink.

I really like the way this card has turned out and I love that the Colour Coach is always right when it comes to selecting colours.

Bye for now, Kris.
