It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted a sketch card.
So I thought I would share this week’s sketch from Stampin’ Connection
SCCSC166. Take a look at the card I made.
- Stamps: Friendly Phrases, En Francais, Papillion Potpourri
- DSP: Wisteria Wonder
- Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
- Ink: Bashful Blue, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant
- Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Delicate Butterfly Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Dazzling Details, Glue Dots
This card was so much fun to put together! I started off
with a 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Bashful Blue card stock that I scored at
4-1/4”. I stamped the En Francais background image onto the card front in
Bashful Blue ink.
Next I cut a piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock 3-1/4”
x 4-1/4”. Then I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 1-5/8” x 4-1/8” and
adhered it onto the left side of the Elegant Eggplant card stock. The next
piece is Wisteria Wonder DSP that was cut at 1-1/2” x 4-1/8” and adhered right
next to the Whisper White card stock. Instead of overlapping the DSP and the
Whisper White card stock, the edges are right against each other leaving a
mostly smooth transition.
I stamped the solid butterfly image from Papillion
Potpourri five times in Bashful Blue ink. Then I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to
stamp the detailed butterfly image on top of the Bashful Blue image in Elegant
Eggplant ink. Next I stamped the greeting from Friendly Phrases onto the
Whisper White card stock in Wisteria Wonder ink.
I adhered this panel onto the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals. I stamped the larger butterfly image onto a scrap of Whisper
White card stock in Wisteria Wonder ink. Then I punched out the butterfly with
the Delicate Butterfly punch and used a Glue Dot to adhere it onto the corner
of the center panel. I added Rhinestones in the center of the larger butterfly
and one Rhinestone next to the greeting. Finally I added some Dazzling Details
onto the stamped Elegant Eggplant butterflies.
I really love how this turned out. It almost looks like
the butterflies are floating on top of the card stock. I also really love this
color combination! Who would have thought Bashful Blue was so great with
Elegant Eggplant?
