It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  We have a great sketch challenge for you to try this week!

LET’S GO FISHING

My Go Fishing Bundle hasn’t arrived yet, but I needed a masculine card and this sketch worked perfectly with the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Paper!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Boho Blue cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • Cut TWO 4 x 5-1/4 pieces of reversible Let’s Go Fishing DSP and cut across top at an angle.  You will be able to get TWO cards just by reversing the top portion on each side!  Adhere one set to front.
  • A 2-3/4 x 3 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock was added to the front.
  • The 3/8 x 5-1/2 strip of Pecan Pie was added over the right side of the Very Vanilla on the front.
  • Three different sized fish were cut from the Let’s Go Fishing DSP and added to the front with Stampn’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set was stamped with Night of Navy Ink on 1/2 x 2-1/2 Boho Blue, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the Pecan Pie strip.

CCMC768 – Darling Details

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  We have a fun color combination for you to try this week!

DARLING DETAILS

I think this is one of my favorite flower sets right now.  And I love the eyelet border dies!  I used the INSIDE of the border die that I had left over from another card I made.  I thought it looked just as pretty as the border one!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Petal Pink was embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Hello Irresistible Designer Paper was added across the middle of the front.
  • The inside of the largest Darling Details scallop border die was cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Darling Details was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink in the upper right corner.
  • The large flower was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink on the Hello Irresistible Designer Paper and the leaves stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on the Hello Irresistible DSP, too.  They were cut with the Darling Details Dies and added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  (I cut apart the leaves and put one on one side and two on the other side.
  • The cluster stem of flowers was cut with the Darling Details Die from Petal Pink cardstock, then the stem and leaves colored with the Light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.  It was tucked under the flower and adhered.
  • A trio of Ombre Matte Decorative Dots were added to the background.
