I made this simple but elegant card for my team challenge this month. The challenge was to interpret a sketch, something that I find quite difficult to do – sorry I can’t work out how to copy the sketch onto this page – I am not known for my IT skills…..

I chose to use the lovely Touches of Texture stamp set for this card. I stamped the lacy pattern stamp onto Whisper White cardstock using Rose Red ink, this is such a pretty, dainty stamp. The flower spray was stamped in Early Espresso ink and coloured in using a Blender Pen and the Rose Red ink pad and Crumb Cake ink pad.

I stamped the sentiment from the new Crafting Forever stamp set – love this set as well- in Rose Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I die cut this out using my Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then die cut a scalloped circle from Rose Red cardstock. I adhered the 2 together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added them to the stamped piece using Dimensionals having added some Gold Metallic Thread to the back. The whole panel was added to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock, then a layer of Whisper White cardstock. The panel was then added to a Rose Red card base using Dimensionals. I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the circle topper for a bit of bling.

I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock with Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the inside of the card having stamped the pretty lacy image along the bottom in Rose Red ink. I made 6 of these lovely cards to send out to people who have nit managed to get to a class in the last few months – just to say Hi, thinking of you.
