If you are coming from Susanna Granroth’s blog, “Lilla My’s andrum”, then you are on the right track. If you didn’t, you may want to start your leap at the first stop on this hop at Mindi Brown’s blog, “Scrap Chat & Coffee Talk”. Also, if you get lost along the way (i.e., broken links, etc.), you can go to Mindi’s blog for a list of all the participants.
There are 50…yes, 50!…talented crafters from around the world ready to share with you a different card sketch and their interpretation to help motivate and inspire you to make your own creations.
Here is the sketch that I selected…
And here is my interpretation…
Parts ‘n pieces….
- Base is colonial white cardstock cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored to create a standard A2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) card.
- Sewing-pattern paper was cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and the edges were sponged with Cocoa ink.
- Floral (teal-colored) pattern paper was cut to 2 1/2″ x 5 3/8″ and the edges were also sponged in Cocoa ink.
- Damask (red-colored) pattern paper was cut to 2 1/2″ x 3″ and edges were sponged with Cocoa ink.
- Striped ribbon is approximately 7 1/4″ long. (Want to give credit to my CTMH sister and friend, Vicki Wizniuk, for the first place that I learned of this idea of extending the ribbon over the edges.)
- Sentiment is stamped with Cocoa ink.
- Circle chipboard was traced onto multi-colored pattern paper. Circle was trimmed and adhered with glue pen to chipboard. Edges were sanded with finishing files and inked with Cocoa ink and adhered to card with mini glue dots.
- Stamped two flowers (outline) in Cocoa ink on Colonial White cardstock.
- All of the interior petals of one flower were created by inking with Sunset ink and stamping off one time on scrap paper before rolling 2/3 of the stamp in Sunset ink and then the inside corner in Tulip ink. Sponged edges with Cocoa ink.
- Step 9 was repeated on 3 of the 6 petals of the second flower, trimmed, sponged edges with Cocoa ink and adhered to every other petal of the first flower with foam tape.
- Used a piercing tool to pierce a hole in center of flower and added a copper brad.
- Stamped two leaves on Colonial White cardstock, trimmed and inked edges with Cocoa ink.
- Adhered flower to card with foam tape and leaves with glue dots.
- Added Mocha Opaque gems to card (using the piercing tool to help with placement).
- VOILA! 🙂
