A new sketch

May 10, 2011

Which means another week has flown by.  I saw the new sketch at Stamping 411 on Saturday but have only just had time to play.

I started with a base card of Marina Mist.  I added a layer of Whisper White card which has been embossed using the  Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder.  I also added a strip of Early Expresso which has been punched using the Scallop Trim Border punch.  I wrapped the Whisper White card with Marina Mist 5/8″  Satin Ribbon before attaching to the base card.  I pulled a thread in the ribbon to gather it up a little on the left hand side before it was attached.  I stamped A Flower For You using Tangerine Tango ink onto Whisper White card and punched it out using the Fancy Flower punch.  I added an Early Expresso 1 3/8″ circle and a Whisper White 1 1/4″ circle  (embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder) to the centre of the flower.  Then I added a Marina Mist button which has some Whisper White 1/4″ Grosgrain ribbon threaded through it.  I punched Tangerine Tango card using the Boho Blossoms Punch to create the second flower.  I separated the layers and scrunched them a little after I added the Silver Brad to the centre.

The flowers are attached over some Pear Pizzazz leaves cut using the Little Leaves sizzlit.  I love the dimension on this card and love the ribbon trim.  I will have to do this more often.

I’d love to know what you think.

Bye for now, Kris.
