This card came about as the result of a team SWAP, where we were asked to create a card from a Card Sketch. Card Sketches, or layouts are available on the internet from a variety of sources. You would go to your browser and type in Card Sketch or Card Layout and you will find that there are many available. I found one that appealed to me and I based my card on the idea of the card layout. I did not follow it exactly, but it is close. Sometimes they can be very handy when you just can’t come up with an idea. Sketches are an excellent source of Inspiration for card makers.
I enjoy picking a random sketch and forcing myself to make something I might not otherwise attempt. It is fun and worth trying. I am quite pleased by the card I came up with.
- I used a Basic White Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”, 1 piece 3 ¾” by 5” to back the DSP on the front of the card, and a small piece of white 2 ¼” by 1” for the sentiment, also a piece of scrap enough to stamp and die cut the small flower 2 times
- next I used 2 pieces of Old Olive, 4” by 5 ¼” for the inside and the outside of the card
- Then I used the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series. The Peach Flower paper for the front of the card is 2 1/8” by 4 ¼”, the band across the front is 1 ¼” by 4 ¼”, and the piece inside is ¾” by 5”, also fussy cut from scrap two flower centers for the die cut flowers
Thanks for Stopping by, let me know if you have any questions.
