Artistically Inked For Freshly Made Sketches

 

Artistically Inked Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to another Freshly made Sketch Challenge Card. I love joining this sketch challenge, it's helps me with my creativity!

Be sure to check out all the other cards here at Freshly Made Sketches!

This is the sketch layout that we followed this week.



Here is my interpretation of the sketch! 


                   

This card is very simple to make, it is only using stamps, inks and papers. You don't need any fancy tools to re-create this card. 


Directions:

Cut a Petal Pink Card Stock base to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score in half at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and attach to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4".

Stamp the large flower using Petal Pink Ink onto the Basic White C/S layer.

Stamp the leaves using Soft Sea Foam Ink.

Stamp the flower center using Daffodil Delight Ink.

Stamp "thanks" 3 times over top of the flower using Memento Black Ink.

Attach this panel to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.





For the inside I did the same stamping as I did for the card front.



I stamped the front of the envelope using the same stamp pads but I used the smaller flower from the stamp set. No naked envelopes!! 

                                           That's it!!!! Easy right!

I love hearing from you, please leave me a comment!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Freshly Made Sketches #589

Here is my card.




Directions:

Cut a Thick Basic White Card Stock base at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Emboss the card base front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I used the floral one.

Cut a strip of Lost Lagoon C/S to 1 3/8" x 5 1/2" and a piece of the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper to 1" x 5 1/2". Attach these two together then attach to the card front.

Attach some Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon to the card base in the center. I went back and forth a few times anchoring it with some Tear And Tape.

Die cut a large Basic White C/S circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp the girl in the window using Memento Black Ink.

Color the girl using Stampin' Blends. I used: Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, Nude, Grey Granite, Crumb Cake and Misty Moonlight.


Attach the circle using Dimensionals to the card front.

Die cut a flag label using Stylish Shapes Dies and Basic White C/S. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Attach using Dimensionals to the card front.


I hope I have inspired you today!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
