It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. We have fun sketch challenge this week! I liked this sketch so much I used it on another upcoming card…but it looks totally different!
HEARTFELT HELLOS
I’ve featured several of the Sale-A-Bration items on today’s card! Can you spot them?
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Mossy Meadow cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party was embossed with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- Two 1/2 x 3-3/4 strips of Lost Lagoon cardstock were added behind the 3 x 3-3/4 Softly Stippled DSP (SAB), then added to the front.
- The greeting from Heartfelt Hellos (SAB) was stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on Basic White and cut with the label die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The small flowers were cut from Lost Lagoon cardstock and the leaves from Mossy Meadow with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, then added to the label with Mini Glue Dots.
- The Opaque Faceted Gems (SAB) were added to the centers of the flowers.
That’s THREE Sale-A-Bration Level 1 options!!! You can’t go wrong! This was my first time using the Softly Stippled DSP! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary.
