(New Post) Freshly Made Sketches Sea Turtle Card

 Freshly Made Sketches Sea Turtle Card

It's time again for a new challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

Here is the layout for this week.


This is my interpretation of the layout.

The card base is Tahitian Tide C/S, cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".  

The layers are Starry Sky C/S, 4" x 5 1/4" and the art panel is    Basic White C/S, 3 3/4" x 5". 

 I simply used a Blending Brush to add some Pool Party Ink in  circles and then I stamped the sea turtles over top using Pool Party Ink and Orchid Oasis Ink. The Sea Turtle Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is a double sided set. One side is the solid turtle and the other side is the detailed turtle. 

I stamped some fish using Balmy Blue Ink stamped off once for a lighter shade.

I stamped a Calypso Coral starfish and cut it out and used a Glue Dot to add it on top of some Basic White Bakers Twine that is wrapped around the layers 2 x and tied into a bow.

I splattered some Wink Of Stella over top of the adorable sea turtles.

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4". I stamped some fish in Balmy Blue Ink, full strength and stamped off once.

I then stamped the detailed sea turtle in Orchid Oasis Ink.



I didn't add any sentiments. That way if I need a particular card I can add a sentiment then. Or just leave off a sentiment and write a nice message inside. 😊

(New Post) Freshly Made Sketches #575

 

Easter Bunny For Freshly Made Sketches #575

It's a new week and another challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches! 

I just love the Sweet Sorbet In-Color! Why haven't I used it before! It's so vibrant!

Here is my happy, cute, adorable Easter Card!


I used the Easter Bunny Bundle to create todays card. The Easter Bunny Punch is on backorder but you can very easily fussy cut it out. 

Directions:

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

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and emboss it using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. 

Cut a piece of the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper to 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" and attach to the embossed layer using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.  Attach this panel to the card base using Dimensionals.

Die cut a Basic White C/S circle using the Layering Circles Dies. Attach to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a bunny using the Bunny Punch and a piece of the Country Gingham DSP. *Tip: If you don't have the Bunny Punch, stamp the bunny onto the DSP and fussy cut. When you stamp the bunny use a very light colour of ink so that it barely shows.

Attach the bunny to the Basic White C/S circle using Dimensionals.

Using Memento Black Ink, stamp the floral sprig onto Basic White C/S. Colour using Stampin' Blends. I used Soft Sea Foam and Sweet Sorbet. Fussy cut out and attach to the bunny.

Stamp the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet Ink onto a strip of Basic White C/S. Attach to the card using Dimensionals. 

I used the same floral sprig and stamped it using Sweet Sorbet Ink on the inside of the card and on the envelope. 



Here is another card I made using the same supplies. I just changed the DSP.




Be sure to check out all the other amazing projects over at Freshly Made Sketches HERE!

I hope you enjoyed todays card! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
