Makeesha's Sketch Challenge 13

Thanks Keesh for such a fabulous sketch yet again. They always manage to get my creative juices flowing. I really felt like doing a pretty card and I've had a thing for So Safforn at the moment.

CARD RECEIPE:

STAMPS: Soft Summer, Weathered Background

INKS: Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Staz on Black

CARDSTOCK: Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Watercolour paper, A Walk in the Park designer paper.

PUNCHES: Scallop border, Scallop Square, Slit

ACCESSORIES: watercolour crayons (regal rose, so saffron, certainly celery, close to coco, bordering blue) Aqua painter, pink pirouette striped grograin, linen thread, dimensionals, sponges

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Scallop border punch is used down the side of a folded Very Vanilla A5 card.
• A narrow strip of pink pirouette is placed underneath this.
• A piece of so saffron is used to cover the front of the card and stamped with the weathered background in so saffron and edges are sponged as well.
• cut 3 square scallops from pink and place an even spaces down right side of card.
• cut 3 x 3cm squares from designer paper and glue to square scallops.
• stamp using staz on black the flower from Soft Summer stamp set onto watercolour paper twice, and colour with crayons and aqua painter. It is hard to see in the photo but I have gone around lightly with bordering blue following the edge of the stamped image to create a soft shadow. Sponge with pink around the edges of watercolour paper.
• from second image cut and mount the flowers and leaves onto first.
• stick this to a peice of pink with a wide border down the bottom.
• use the slit punch to make a hole for the ribbon. Tie ribbon off with some linen thread or cotton. Place on front of card. See photo for placement.

Enjoy
