Hi Stampers!
I wanted to take to take a
break from creating Christmas cards and share this card created using the
colors from this week’s DD74 Dynamic Duos Challenge along with the AtlanticHearts Sketch Challenge #25 and the monthly theme at the Stampin' Celebration SCIC71 Inspiration Challenge. 
If you have not had the
chance to visit any of these sites yet, I hope you will take the time to
do so – again, great inspiration!
To create
this card:
Using So
Saffron Classic Ink, ink up your brayer roller and roll the ink a bit
sporadically onto a piece of Vary Vanilla cardstock.
Stamp the
larger flower (dotted line) image from Stippled Blossoms using Calypso Coral
Classic Ink, stamping off for some of the images to create your own Designer
Series Paper (DSP). Trim this panel to 4”
x 5 ¼”.
Add the
Crochet Lace and Satin Ribbon (both from my stash) per the sketch. Adhere the entire panel to the Calypso Coral
card base.
Create
the rolled flowers using Scallop Circle Punches (2 3/8”, 1 ¾” and 1 ¼”) from So
Saffron and Calypso Coral cardstock. Spiral
cut from the outside using a wavy pattern toward the middle, roll up starting
from the outside toward the center and use Mono Multi Adhesive to adhere the
layers together.
Punch out
a few leaves using the Bird Builder Punch from Pistachio Pudding cardstock and
punch out the sentiment using the XL Oval Punch (this sentiment is from the
retired set, Watercolor Trio and was printed from My Digital Studio onto Very
Vanilla cardstock).
Also
punch out two additional XL Ovals from Calypso Coral cardstock for the frame
behind the sentiment, attach the two Calypso
Coral ovals together (spread apart a bit) to create a frame for the
sentiment and adhere the sentiment to the center.
Mount the
sentiment onto the background layer (per the sketch) and add the rolled flowers
and leaves. Add a few Pearls to the
sentiment to finish off the card.
