Wonderful World card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge to work with.

To recreate the wonderful world card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”

I die cut a stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from the Vellum cardstock. The coloured flower was then adhered to the vellum circle with dabs of liquid glue. I added the circle to the card front on Dimensionals hidden behind the flower.

A bow was added and I used the Cherry Cobbler Blends Pens to colour in a trio of Classic Matte Dots to complete the card.

I hope you like it.

A scalloped rectangle was die cut using the Scalloped Contour Dies from the smaller Basic White panel.

I tore a rough edge from a piece of copy paper and used it to make snow banks by applying Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush.

The house was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto scrap Basic White card. I stamped the roof in Basic Gray and the small pine trees in Evening Evergreen on the scrap card and used the Window Dies to die cut them out.

The bare tree was stamped onto the scalloped rectangle in Soft Suede ink and the house added to the scene on Dimensionals. I tucked the pine trees around the house.  The dotty image was stamped in Balmy Blue ink across the sky. The stamped piece was glued to the Evening Evergreen layer.

The sentiment, from the Vintage Christmas stamp set, was stamped in Balmy Blue ink. I masked off the words I didn’t need before stamping. The whole panel was then added to the card base on Dimensionals.
