Velvet Meadow for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #684
Welcome to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #684! It’s Team B’s turn, and we are happy to share our projects using the sketch.
Please check out the challenge’s page for the creations by the other very talented design team members. When you’ve created your own card for our challenge, please don’t forget to upload them to our gallery. We’d love for you to play along.
Here’s my card:
What I Did:
- The Peaceful Pine base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- After using the Lovely Stripes embossing folder on a piece of white cardstock, I trimmed it to 4-18 by 5-3/8 inches
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
- I trimmed a piece of the Velvet Meadow DSP (designer series paper) to three consecutive strips measuring 5 by 1-5/8 inches and outlined them using the Bubble Bath dark blend
- Trim another piece of DSP to 3/4 by 4 inches and add it to the bottom of the white cardstock for the inside of the card
- Trim a piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating cardstock and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- Crop a piece of vellum cardstock (so very glad that’s back!) using the largest circle die in the Stylish Shapes die set
- Using the Lovely Arrangements bundle, stamp the leaves in Peaceful Pine ink on white cardstock and crop them out
- Then wipe down a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock using your embossing buddy and stamp the flowers using VersaMark ink
- Add white embossing powder to the stamped images and heat set them, then crop them using the coordinating dies
- I used Bubble Bath and Berry Burst blends combos to color the flowers
- Use the same stamp set for the sentiment and emboss the sentiment with white powder
- Crop the sentiment with a die from Lovely Arrangements
- Make a loopy loop bow from Bubble Bath ribbon and glue dots
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- Adhere the embossed white cardstock to the base of the card
- Dry-fit the strips of DSP, then adhere them to the front of the embossed cardstock
- Use liquid glue and dimensionals to adhere the trio of leaves and flowers to the front of the vellum circle
- Once the flowers and leaves are adhered to the vellum, add multipurpose liquid glue to the back of the vellum, hiding it behind the attached pieces
- Add the loopy loop bow to the back of the cropped sentiment and then add dimensionals by straddling the ribbon
- Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card
- Follow up by adding 3 Peaceful Pine butterflies
- Since the front sentiment is an all occasion one, I didn’t add a sentiment to the inside yet
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Loopy Loop Bow:
I was able to watch Mary Deatherage’s, from Stamps -n- Lingers, Perfectly Pears tutorial. In that video, she showed her loopy-loop bow. That’s what I used for the front of my card. I’m bow-challenged and this technique allows me to relatively easily add ribbon without adding the bulk of a tied bow. If you’ve never seen her videos, you owe it to yourself to watch them. I think she’s the Queen of the Collage. Gorgeous cards!!
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
