Here’s my card:
I’m also going to be entering this card in the gallery for the Try a Sketch on Tuesday #665 (#TSOT665). Here’s the challenge sketch:
Due to family circumstances this weekend, this post is going to be short and (hopefully) sweet!
Mediterranean Blooms Product Suite:
- All the DSP (designer series paper) comes from the Mediterranean Blooms DSP
- Thankfully, the die cut orange blooms can be cropped directly from the DSP, so no coloring is involved
- The Daffodil Delight spray on the side is also from the coordinating die set
- I cropped the Cajun Craze background rectangle using a deckled rectangle die
- The sentiment banner comes from the Greetings of the Season die set, which I absolutely love and will not be parting with it any time soon
- Both the inside and outside sentiments come from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, and I stamped both in Cajun Craze
- The background of the front of the card was embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder
- I used dimensionals to adhere the orange blossom spray and the front sentiment to the card
- My favorite adhesive, the Tombow multipurpose liquid glue, was used to adhere all the other pieces
- I added the opals dot from the product suite to cover the tiny hole in the front sentiment banner
- I added two more opals on the Cajun Craze brackground to form a triangle, which is the most pleasing for balance and movement
- While it may look complicated, since I didn’t have to color anything, it really wasn’t, but we won’t tell anyone that
