fresh & fun

This is the card I made for this weekend’s sketch challenge. Since I already had a sample that followed the sketch, I thought I could stray a little.

I started with stamping the sentiment from Define your Life in Black Stazon on a Shimmery White Nestabilities oval that I had laying around and layered that on a black Nestabilities scallop oval.

I stamped the One of a Kind triple flower in Pumpkin Pie and Purely Pomegranate on Shimmery white, punched them out with the matching Boho Flower Punch and added three of those flowers around the sentiment. I added black vintage brads in the center of the smaller flowers, and an Ice circle Rhinestone brad in the bigger flower.

My card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of black cardstock folded in half. The next layer is a 4″ square of Wild Wasabi cardstock. I paper pierced the right edge. The 1 3/8″ x 4″ strip of Purely Pomegranate was stamped with a background from Boho Backgrounds and taped right next to the paper pierced edge.

I stamped the One of a Kind sentiment in Black Stazon on Shimmery White, punched it out with the small oval punch and layered it on a sponged 1″ Pumpkin Pie circle and then on a black designer label punchout. Under the left hand side of the designer label I punched a hole and ran my Striped Pumpkin Pie ribbon through. I love that new ribbon.

Last I added  three 1/2″ black circles on the top right of the Pomegranate strip, followed by 1/4″ Pumpkin Pie circles and three black brads.
