I belong to a Facebook page called Aussies Who Love Stampin’ Up!. This page is open to everyone who loves Stampin’ Up! not just demonstrators. They have a sketch challenge at the moment and I decided to use the sketch to create a birthday card for a friend who recently celebrated her birthday. I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of a piece of Whisper White card using Mossy Meadow ink before embossing using the Layering Leaves 3D embossing folder. I wrapped the embossed card with the Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon before attaching to Petal Pink card. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Mossy Meadow card.
I cut a piece of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper using the Squares Layering Dies and attached it to a Petal Pink scalloped square cut using the same dies. The Designer Series Paper square is attached to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped the small flower from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set onto scrap Whisper White card. I coloured the flower using Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the flower using the co-ordinating Magnolia Memory Dies and attached the flower to the card front using dimensionals so it sits partially over the Designer Series Paper. I tied a bow in a double length of Whisper White Baker’s Twine and attached it to the flower using a rolled up Mini Glue Dot.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Perennial Birthday stamp set onto Whisper White card using Mossy Meadow ink. I punched a narrow strip of Mossy Meadow card using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and attached it behind one long edge of the same pattern of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. The panel is attached to the bottom of the stamped Whisper White card.
I love the end result using this sketch, don’t you. Thanks AWLSU for the inspiration.
Bye for now,
Kris
