Kre8tors Blog Hop July- Card Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to July’s Kre8tors Blog Hop. You may have hopped over to me from the talented Kirsteen.  This month we have our first card sketch challenge.  This is such a good idea and I should look at sketches more often especially if I am stuck for a design.  Below is the Sketch and measurements, You could also turn this sketch round so that the card is landscape which would give you a different design.

 

For my card I decided to use designer series paper DSP) rather than a stamped image  which is very unusual for me. Natures Poem Designer Paper is a set which is included in the Buy 3 get one Free offer for July. It is a great for both feminine and masculine cards and of course your scrapbooking pages.

 The card base is Blackberry Bliss with a piece of DSP as the first matt (A) square (B) and strip (C).  The square is cut using the Stitched Shape Framelits and Grapefruit Grove cardstock was used with the flower from the Flourish thinlits both cut with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. Whisper White cardstock was used for strip (D), the circle (E) is Blackberry Bliss cardstock punched with the 1 1/4 punch. Leaves were stamped on vellum cardstock with Soft Suede as was the sentiment.  Both the stamps were from the Painted Harvest set.  Linen Thread and a Faceted Gem added some texture.
