Today marks the 100th edition of
Sunday Stamps! We are celebrating with a fabulous new sketch challenge...check it out:
Here is my project for the Design Team:
This project was inspired by a recent order from a customer. She ordered several packages of
Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip and
Whisper White card stock, which got me to thinking about that yummy colour palette. So, I decided to give it a go for this week's challenge. I began by heat embossing the dahlia from the
Regarding Dahlias stamp set (this one is on the
Retirement List...get it before it's gone) using
Blushing Bride embossing powder (this is retiring too!) on a panel of
Chocolate Chip card stock. I then coloured in the entire dahlia image using an aquapainter and
Whisper White craft ink. Once that had dried I went back and added a subtle hint of colour using my
Blushing Bride Stampin' Write marker and a
blender pen. I love the soft look this technique produces!
I die-cut the
silver glimmer pennant using the
Itty Bitty Banners Framelits, and the
Blushing Bride pennant using the
Banners Framelits. The sentiment, from the
Perfect Pennants stamp set, is stamped in
Chocolate Chip ink and then die-cut using the
Banners Framelits. I added some long-retired Blushing Bride stitched grosgrain ribbon and a few random
rhinestones for some added bling. The final touch was a wee butterfly, punched from
vellum with the
Bitty Butterfly punch.
On the inside of the card I stamped the dahlia image again, this time using
Chocolate Chip ink. I lightly sponged the image using a dauber and
Blushing Bride ink.
We would love to have you join us for our 100th challenge...why not give this sketch a try? In case you need more inspiration, I'll be back with a couple of other takes on the sketch!
Beautiful card Leena! It's always surprising where inspiration can come from ....
