Cherish Isaac
I wanted to use today’s sketch challenge to make a card for Charmaine. She had a scheduled c-section on Tuesday! If one of you would like to send Charmaine a congratulations card, email me and I will give you her address.
I started with the Le Jardin paper and worked from there. But now I am not sure if it is too “un-babish” for that occasion. I will try again.
My card base is a sponged 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Always Artichoke, layered with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of creamy shimmery cardstock.
The corner of this and the next layer were punched with the ticket corner punch.
The third layer was the striped paper from the Le Jardin Designer Paper.
The sponged Always Artichoke layer measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and again is layered with a 1/4″ smaller piece of creamy shimmery cardstock and a 2 3/4″ x 4″ piece Le Jardin Designer paper.
I stamped the Medaillon twice. Once with Artichoke craft ink that was embossed with clear embossing powder, the second time with classic Artichoke ink. The embossed piece was punched out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch, layered on a 1 3/8″ Soft Sky cardstock circle and a sponged Artichoke scallop circle.
I punched the center of the regular stamped medaillon out with the 1/2″ circle punch and used it with my new Antique Brass Build-a-Brads. Well….let’s just say it’s another piece of hardware I will love using. Easy and GORGEOUS!!!!
Double Stitched River Rock grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around the smaller layeres vertically and the medaillon adhered over it with dimensionals.
The greeting is from Baroque Motifs. It’s stamped in Always Artichoke Craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
