How I Use A Sketch To Create A Pretty Birthday Card.

Hello, I can’t believe we’re in July already. Where has the first half the year gone? I just hope the second half slows down a wee bit, I am 50 November and that can wait. lol. This month we have a sketch for you and would like to share how you might us a given sketch.

When using a sketch, it is totally up to yourself how you interpret it. You can follow its layout exactly or change it round, as I have chosen to do. I still have all the compents of the orignial sketch but I have turned things around.

How I Used A Sketch

Tech 4 Stampers July Blog Hop - Sketch. Floral Delight Suite, Linen Thread.

Create an A6 cardbase, measuring 1.9cm x 10.5cm, using Thick Basic White cardstock. Cut a piece of Floral Delight DSP (designer series paper measuring 5cm x 10cm and adhere to a piece of Floral & Gingham Vellum SDSP (sepciality designer series paper) measuring 14.4cm x 10cm. Adhere your vellum to your cardbase.

Die-cut a 7cm circle from Basic White cardstock, I used the Spotlight On Nature Dies. Using the Delightful Wishes Bundle, stamp a branch and leaves to one half of your circle, I have used Peacan Pie and Old Olive inks. Stamp the flower cluster onto Basic White cardstock, using Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight ink. Die-cut out your images and adhere around your branch using both liquid glue and dimensionals. Adere your circle flat to your DSP.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using Old Olive ink and die-cut using the label die. Die-cut ‘wishing’ from Pool Party and Basic Which cardstock, adhere together. Add a Linen Thread bow to the back of your label and add your whole sentiment to your cardbase using dimensionals.

Finish your card by adding several Tiny Bee Trinkets.

I do hope you I have given you some inspiration and you will create your own card using this sketch. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.
