We have a creative sketch challenge for you at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I decided to turn the sketch sideways because I make most cards in that position. Using a brand new stamp set that I just got in my last order, Path of Petals, I made a soft, summery birthday card. I just returned home from moving my daughter and then taking her to visit Seattle to visit my son. It was such a great week with cooler temps (sure wish I could bring that home to Michigan!) and lots of delicious food! We were practically next to Pike Place Market so a short walk every day was always in our itinerary.
My Secrets to Making This Path of Petals Project
- Getting home on Saturday meant making a card for this challenge that was pretty and easy, so this sketch was perfect for me!
- This card is A6 size and started with stamping the focal floral image from Path of Petals, that is 3 step stamping. My Stamparatus made this super easy to do!
- After stamping the image, I cropped it out with the large circle die and layered it onto So Saffron cardstock that was cut with the scallop die.
- I love the Subtle 6×6 DSP and get it every year. This year’s paper is the best one yet! I chose two patterns, cut them to size then ran the Pear Pizzazz through the Subtle embossing folder. This step isn’t necessary if you don’t want to, but I personally love texture on all of my cards.
- The sentiment was stamped in Highland Heather ink and cropped with a die from Stitched Shapes. The little metallic button brad was added and layered onto a little bow that I made from Old Olive Linen Thread.
- After assembling and adhering the elements onto the card base, I wanted a little “life” so I got out the beautiful new Perennial Essence vellum cardstock and punched out the Old Olive and So Saffron vellum with the Leaf and Sprig punches.
