Good Morning Friends!
I just love this time of year! Waking up in the morning, the sun seems just a little brighter. Although it's still chilly out, the signs that spring is here are coming!
At this time of year, I love to go a bit brighter. I gravitate towards white... and this card gives the feel of spring, and maybe weddings?
I'm loving the richness of this card, and the fact that it's a little smaller than my usual card. It's 4 1/4" square, so this is most certainly one you would hand to someone, which would be perfect for the upcoming wedding season!
Measurements:
Base: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4" (to form the card base)
Layer 2: 4 1/8" square whisper white
Layer 3: 4" square whisper white, embossed with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder
Layer 4: 4" x 3 1/4" whisper white, with the eyelet border bunch across the bottom
Layer 5: The new fabulous DSP coming out in APRIL, will be available THIS FRIDAY! 4 x 2 3/4"
Layer 6: 2 5/8" x 2 3/8" (note this is 1/8" larger than layer 7")
Layer 7: 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" whisper white (focal point)
Layer 8: Paper banner is 1/2" tall
Colors and Notes:
I used baja, not quite navy and old olive markers to stamp the images. For the main image, I inked my flower with baja and added not quite navy to accent. Then I huffed on the back of the stamp (to remoisten it with my breath) and stamped it on my white (layer 7).
I just love a good sketch challenge to get me going in the morning! Off to prep for my stamp club, which is this week!
Rubbah hugs,
Selene Kempton
