Just Add Ink #492 .... Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome,


I’ve entered into the latest Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge #492, this is a fun sketch challenge which Jackie Aitken has chosen.

My creation is using a number of different products from the Annual, Mini, Saleabration Stampin’ Up! Catalogues to form this Mother’s Day card. I know Mother’s Day is still awhile away, but I wanted to start now and create a 3D Flower as the main focal point for the card. 

I’ve used the Heart Punch and punched out a number of hearts in Petal Pink Cardstock. I started to sponge Petal Pink ink onto the edge of the hearts but I wanted more depth, so I added Grapefruit Grove Ink. 

Punch out 1” Circle Punch as the flower base, I’ve scrunched up each petal before I layered them on top of the circle and add more of the petals to form the layers with adhesive. The black stamen is a strip of Basic Black Cardstock 20cm x 2cm, snipped with Paper Snips all the way along and then rolled up. Securing it with a couple of Mini Glue Dots and fanning out the strips. I added two leaves from the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set & Nature’s Roots Dies using Old Olive, Ink and Cardstock.  

Now for the card. The card base is Basic Black followed by the gorgeous black and white striped paper – Golden Honey Specialty DSP which is from the Saleabration Catalogue. I just love the bold stripes combined with the Petal Pink and Old Olive.

The black writing is from the stamp set Very Versailles, which fits nicely inside the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folder. 

I’ve used White Stampin’ Emboss Powder for the sentiment, heat embossed and fussy cut out. It’s layered over the Whisper White scalloped die cut from the Painted Labels Dies and a strip of Basic Black Cardstock. I had to add some bling to the card, so I added the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels which complements well with Petal Pink. 

What do you think of my card? It's not one for posting in the mail or even placing in an envelope, but it could be framed.
