Cute By The Inch

So here was a quick card I made for a sketch challenge over on ESAD (Extra Special Australian Demonstrators - stampin' Up! - so if you are a demo come on over and join in the fun!). The colours were all from the Brights family and the centre tangerine flower was cut and popped up on Dimensionals. I really like this level 2 hostess set and don't use it nearly enough - makes quick and simple cards though - want to earn this set for FREE - contact me now to find out how - extra hostess incentive rewards from May 23-June 30th!!!

Love Daisies?

Well I decided I wanted to use some of my new toys and join in the latest Inkspiration sketch challenge. I don't normally make square cards as it's hard to get them to fit into envelopes, but the Whisper White medium Square Envelopes (#107289) are perfect for them. 

I bought the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch from the Summer Mini and layered it with the 1 3/4" scallop circle punch. Snipped in each petal, but not all the way to the centre, sponged the edges and then secured them together with one of the lovely Antique Brads - like the result?

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Black, cut out and layered on top of the same image stamped in Riding Hood Red with a Dimensional and embellished with a Basic Rhinestone.

The faux ribbon is actually just card stock that has been wet with a few spritzes of Stamp 'n Mist, then just scrunched up, when it dries it holds it's shape and becomes quite hard. I sponged the edges of it to add a bit more colour depth and then stuck it onto the card - too easy!
