Today’s card is inspired by the sketch challange at Case this Sketch and the colour challenge at Just Add Ink.  I don’t do colour challenges very often but it is nice to be taken out of your comfort zone to try new things and I must admit I love these colours together.  I began by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of Rocco Rose card before running it through my Cut & Emboss Machine using the large die from the Many Medallions Dies.  I cut the card down into two panels four squares x two squares and attached them to Whisper White card.  Adding the Adhesive Sheet makes attaching intricate dies like this one so easy!  The Whisper White panel is attached to scored and folded Mint Macaron card. I stamped the large and small solid flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set onto Whisper White card using Merry Merlot ink and cut them out.  I coloured the centre of the small flower using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.  I stamped the three leaf image from the Floral Essence stamp set onto Mint Macaron card using Mint Macaron ink.  I punched the leaf image using the retired Leaf Punch.  I attached the small flower to the centre of the large flower using dimensionals.  I attached the leaf to the back of the large flower before attaching to the card front.  I stamped “happy birthday” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set to the left of the flower below the die cuts using Merry Merlot ink.

To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto Whisper White card using Merry Merlot ink.  I also stamped the small flower from the Floral Essence stamp set using Merry Merlot ink and coloured the centre using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.

I love the colours in this card and the layout.  So thanks to Just Add Ink for the colour inspiration and Case This Sketch for the layout.

Bye for now,

Kris
