We just made this card in stamp club last evening and the gals were joking that I took time during my recent recuperation to come up with devious, fussy things for them to do. This was all in fun of course, and I believe that they thought the effort was worth it. In particular, it was creating the mask for the foremost flower that was a little annoying with the little pointy-bits on each petal. But, they all persevered and created a card that made us all wistful for spring.
I originally created this card to participate in a sketch challenge out on the Craft Project Central site. They have a monthly sketch challenge called "Creating Pretty Cards". This is actually my first time participating in their challenge, and I do like how this one turn
ed out. Here is the original sketch:
I also wanted to create a card that showcased some of the wonderful Sale-A-Bration (SAB) products that are available right now. I used three different SAB goodies on this card; the flower stamps, the patterned paper and the embossing folder. Gotta love it!
I used the following materials to make this card:
- Stamps: Petal Parade (SAB), Another Thank You
- Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Whisper White
- Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, Basic Black, Pistachio Pudding
- Accessories: Sweet Sorbet DSP (SAB), Circles Framelits, Perfect Pennants Bigz die, Summer Starfruit ribbon, Decorative Dots embossing folder (SAB), Dimensionals, Stampin' Sponges
Fantastic card! Great use of the sketch, and way to showcase the SAB items! Thanks so much for joining us at Creating Pretty Cards!
I can see how this pretty card would make you wistful for Spring. It's very lovely.
