Happy Sunday!
This is the card I designed for the March #stampingcovechallenges which is a sketch challenge. The rest of the Stamping Cove Design Team have created some wonderful cards that Emma Goddard (Coastal Crafter) will be sharing this month in her Facebook Group – The Stamping Cove.
As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use flowers instead of circles and with Stampin’ Up! there are so many choices. After a bit of thought I decided to pull out the gorgeous Artistically Inked stamp set and the co-ordinating Artistic dies from the Annual Catalogue. If you don’t have a die cutting machine the images are easily fussy cut. Did you know that The stamps create lovely single layer cards too but I wanted to have a lot of dimension and layers in my card.
I stamped the flowers and leaves from Artistically Ink in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. The Stitched Greenery die creates a subtle but beautiful background. To bring in some golden elements I added Shimmer Ribbon, heat embossed the sentiment in gold and dotted about gold metallic pearls and a couple of Brushed Brass Butterflies from the Jan – June Mini Catalogue.
I think both cards turned out great. The Stitched Greenery die creates such a lovely background for the beautiful flowers – its one of my favourite dies from the annual catalogue.
