Today’s Sketch challenge isn’t the easiest sketch I have seen or done. It took me a while to get my card finished. It’s definitely not one of Valeries little warm up cards.
I still had my Crafty Secrets supplies scattered all over my table from yesterday’s Luggage tag card. So I kept on using those. The blue paper is from the Radiant Paper pack from Crafty Secrets, the pink paper from the Pristine Paper Salon pad.
I started out by taking a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of that blue paper and cutting it at an angle to make my two triangle. Next those were layered on chocolate chip cardstock and cut with my scallop scissor.
I stamped one of the border stamps from the French Mail set on the paper with Brown Palette ink and set both triangles aside.
Next I cut a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the pink paper and sanded it down. I know, I know…but I love sanding designer paper. I just can’t help myself. Next I punched a scallop border on the bottom with my Stampin’ Up! corner rounder and punched eyelets in the center of each scallop. Then I sanded that border as well :). I stamped more border designs and the greeting all over. I wish now that I hadn’t stamped the heart and had moved the greeting down a bit. It’s always easier in hindsight.
Underneath that eyelet border I added a strip of chocolate chip that was the same wavy border as the pink paper.
My card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of chocolate chip cardstock folded in half. On the bottom I added a 1″ x 5 1/2″ piece of shimmery white cardstock. the pink paper was taped on top of that to make the border pop a little better.
Before taping the triangles to the card, I added white wide organdy ribbon from Stampin’ Up! as well as May Arts double sided pink satin ribbon and white ric rac.
I love the little guy in the center image. I know my Mother in law will love the card, greeting set too high or not. She loves chubby cherubs!
