Sunday’s Featured Stamper was Heather Puvirenti. I was excited. Heather is a frequent visitor of my blog and she always makes the most awesome cards with my sketch challenges. It was great to get to case her.
I picked this card from her Splitcoast gallery. I liked the the sketch this layout she used and her flower accent on it.
My card base is a 8″ square of Soft Sky cardstock folded in half.
It will fit in SU’s large open ended envelopes, or you could just use a regular business size envelope to send the card.
The next layer measures 3″ x 7 1/2″ and is from the Cutie Pie Designer Paper pack. I taped it down and added Paper piercing over it.
Layered on top of the Cutie Pie paper is a 6 1/4″ long scallop strip in Wild Wasabi. I made the scallops with the slit punch.
Making scallops with the slit punch is really easy. Just cut a strip of cardstock, slide your slit punch in all the way and punch. Hold your slit punch upside down so you see the bottom of it, slide it back into the cardstock, line up the scallop with your last one and punch again. Repeat until your turned your strip of cardstock into a scallop border.
Over the Wild Wasabi cardstock is a 2″ x 6 1/4″ piece of Soft Sky Prints Designer paper. I taped both together, ran Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon around it and added my Sentiment.
I had stamped the saying from Fabulous Flowers earlier in Purely Pomegranate ink on Shimmery White cardstock, distressed the edges of the cardstock with the cutter kit and added Dazzling Diamond glitter over it. It was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of distressed Purely Pomegranate cardstock.
For the flower accent I inked up the flower from the same set in Groovy Guava and rock ‘n rolled the edges in Purely Pomegranate on Shimmery White cardstock. I cleaned the stamp, inked it up again with Groovy Guava and added Purely Pomegranate ink with my Fantastix around the edges of (what I decided to be) my second layer. Again I cleaned the stamp, inked it with Groovy Guava and added Purely Pomegranate to the outside of the inner flower as well as the three inner spots.
I cut all three flowers out. The first one around the outer edge, second and third around my Purely Pomegranate edging. I adhered them on top of each other, used Liquid Glue over all my Purely Pomegranate edges and added Dazzling Diamond Glitter all over that. I adhered the flower with dimensionals.
