Hey Everybody!

It's time for another simple sketch challenge from the stamping 411 operators.

I really thought when embrace life retired, that I would never find a set that I liked to do the "reinker float" with as much. I vowed to hold on to that set forever, because I'd never get "there" again... Also... I thought that my razzleberry and bordering blue were the bees knees...

When I started playing with baja again, I thought of bordering blue... although I think it's looking almost tropical blue here..

Ahhhhh my reinker float! :) Actually, the technique originated with Crystal French, and you can see all about her beautiful creations here. For a tutorial on how I do the "reinker float" click here.

So ~ Here are some measurements for you.

Base: Whisper white 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
2nd layer: Baja 5 3/8 x 4 1/8"
3rd layer: Whisper white 5 1/4 x 4"
4th layer: Baja 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
5th layer: Whisper white 3 1/16 x 4 1/16"
6th layer: Shimmer White, embossed with the reinker spread technique 3x4"

I layered the ribbons for the piece going across the bottom third of my card. Then I punched a flower from the three flower punch in baja. I layered a razzleberry oval on top, and finished it with a NEW oval that will be available in the holiday mini! I added some of our self adhesive bling, using the tips of my snips.

I adhered layer 2 and three together, then ran them through the big shot at the same time. I used tombo adhesive to stick all the layers together, except for the ribbon. For that I used snail.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and maybe check out the cool challenge and post a card if you have time!

Rubbah hugs,
