Blooms & Wishes 'For You' #PPA306 Sketch Challenge from Mary Fish

Blooms & Wishes

'For You'


#PPA306 Sketch Challenge from Mary Fish

PPA-306-June23


My card for today's blog was inspired by this weeks Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge, also the 'Blooms & Bliss' DSP and the 'Blooms &  Wishes' stamp set

I love the soft colours throughout the whole set in the 'Blooms & Bliss' DSP but because of the sketch & what I had in mind I had to balance the colours carefully so as to not over power any particular section of my design.....
I thought I would also add this to my cards made to send for the #frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu in July, to help combat depression.


Here is my card for this weeks challenge


'For You'


#Bloomsandwishes #Foryou #KOCreationscards #PPA306 #Burlapribbon #Giftoflove #frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu


How I made 'For You':

  • I chose Thick A4 Whisper White as my Card Base and for the small squares on the front. I made those using the plain layering squares. 
  • For the backing I chose Rich Razzleberry to lift that small amount of colour in the DSP to the fore. I also used this colour under the small squares using the scalloped layering square.
  • I stamped my flowers in Sweet Sugarplum & Blushing Bride the fussy cut them
  • I stamped onto my squares the leaves in Sahara Sand then layed the flowers on top using dimensionals.
  • I stamped my sentiment in Rich Razleberry using ink refills spread over a clear stampin block, as for some reason I had the refill but not the stamp pad ....go figure! Hence the sentiment looks a little washed out....I had to stamp off the paper first just to get it that good. Must order that stamp pad! You can see one of the flowers has a different colour also... I tried Wisteria Wonder to see how it would look.
  • I layered small pieces of Burlap ribbon under the top two flower squares and a strip under the bottom square running the whole way across.
  • I raised the squares on dimensionals  to add a little more depth to the card.
  • I fussy cut around the outside sentiment and placed that over the longer strip of burlap ribbon.
  • I added Rhinestones to the centre of each flower and also touched up the centres with clear Wink of Stella. Which you can just see in the pictures above.
  • I layered my card front onto the base also using dimensionals .... I think I am becoming addicted to Dimensionals!
