Here is another card made with one of Amy Westerman’s sketches! I think I mentioned before that I love her blog, right???
This sketch was a bit intimading for me when Amy first posted it. But after seeing all the cool samples other stampers made with it, I took heart and tried it myself.
I started out with a Pumpkin Pie card base. The chocolate chip layer is 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″, the Au Chocolat Paper 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. I stamped the second biggest flower from Big Blooms in Chocolate Chip Craft ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I inked up the next smaller flower with real red classic ink and rock ‘n rolled the edges with chocolate chip ink. I added Versamark ink all over the image and embossed it as well. For the center I stamped the same flower again in red, sponged the center with Pumpkin Pie and cut it out. I layered it on an 1″ chocolate chip circle, inked up the entire thing with Versamark and embossed it as well.
Next I cut out the flowers and layered them with dimensionals on top of each other. The Happy Birthday saying is from Eat Cake. I was looking for a bolder looking saying that would work with this flower. I stamped the saying with Chocolate Chip craft ink on real red cardstock and embossed it as well. I punched it out with the large oval punch and layered it on chocolate chip cardstock, that I cut with a decorative scissor.
Before taping everything down I tied some of my new gorgeous May Arts ribbon on the top of the Designer paper. I love this double sided satin ribbon. It was my inspiration for htis color combo.

Hi Beate! Awwwwww, thanks for doing the sketch and for the sweet words….you’re making me bluuuuuuuuushhhhhhhh:)! You never need to be intimidated with anything B, you’re a fab-u-oso stamper and can do anything!!!! Love the colors of this card, PP is one of my favorite colors. SU just needs to do away with Only Orange, don’t you think, and use PP as their “orange”!
