Tasteful Touches

Tasteful Touches In Coral

Here is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Check out all the other amazing projects!

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2020/07/freshly-made-sketches-444-sketch-by-jen.html

My card base is a 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock scored at 4 1/4". I embossed the front using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. 

I stamped the flower from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set onto a 3x3" piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock using Smoky Slate Ink. I like to outline my image with the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend Marker to help the image pop! I then coloured the flower with Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends and a Light Daffodil Delight Blend for the flower center. I added some white dots to the center using the Chalk Marker. 

The sentiment is stamped onto a piece of scrap Very Vanilla Card Stock using Pretty Peacock Ink and cut out with my Paper Snips.

I mounted this panel onto a 3" x 31/4" piece of Early Espresso Card Stock. I added a 21/2" X 1/2" strip of Pretty Peacock C/S under the panel. I stamped this small strip with the floral image from the Tasteful Touched Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock Ink. 

The main panel is popped up using Dimensionals as is the sentiment. 

I hope you enjoy todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Happy Birthday For Freshly Made Sketches

Here is my design for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!!

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

This is the layout sketch I had to follow.








Here is my card!

I think this is the first time I have ever used Mango Melody Card Stock!! I love it paired with the Bermuda Bay Card Stock!!! Bright and happy!!

The card base is Bermuda Bay. I die cut 2 pieces of the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits and adhered to the card. I then die cut out "Happy" and "Birthday" in Mango Melody using the Well Written Dies and again in black fun foam to give the words some "lift"! Using black fun foam also creates a nice shadow effect. Glue to the card using Multipurpose Glue.

I punched out a Mango Melody Balloon with the Balloon Bouquet Punch, added some Whisper White Bakers Twine to the back using a Glue Dot and attached it to the card with a few Dimensionals. 

Simple and no stamping!! 

I hope you enjoyed today's bright and cheery card! 
Stay safe, Happy Stamping and Creating!
