Hi Stampers!!
I wanted to create a card
using The Paper Players PP138 Sketch Challenge and decided to create a card for Stampin’ Up! Only SUO67 Spring is in the Air Challenge using the
colors from this week’s CCMC244 Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. Hopefully, if you have not already done so,
you will take the time to visit each site- the Design Teams and other entries
are fabulous!!
To create this card:
Ink the floral image from
Summer Solstice using Not Quite Navy (NQN) Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece
of retired Bella Chateau Designer Series Paper (Marina Mist swirl). Color the area around the flowers with a NQN Stampin’
Write marker and a Daffodil Delight marker for the centers. Mount onto Whisper White and again onto NQN
cardstock, add the ½” Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon with the button (I
added a few strips of NQN cardstock as faux stitching).
Using a brayer, lightly
apply Marina Mist Classic Ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp over the brayered cardstock using the
Netting Background Stamp with NQN Classic Ink.
Mount this image onto NQN cardstock and again onto the Whisper White
card base.
Create the banner using NQN
Designer Series Paper (DSP) and add a NQN cardstock layer and mount again onto
Whisper White. Use the 1 3/8” Square
Punch to create the banner points on all of the layers.
Cut around the edge of a
Tea Lace Paper Doily and use Sticky Strip behind the banner to layer the Paper
Doily edge. Mount the banner strip to
the card per the sketch layout.
Stamp the butterflies from
Summer Solstice using NQN Classic Ink and use the Bitty Butterfly Punch to
punch out the butterflies. Stamp the
sentiment from Elements of Style, carefully cut around the image and mount
using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. Add the
Pearls to the butterflies to finish off the card.
