This week we have a vertical Sketch challenge, #PCC499, for you to play with. I have been spending
some time playing with the new Country Floral Lane Suite Collection. This collection includes the Country Bouquet Bundle (the Country Bouquet Stamp Set + the Country Bouquet Punch), the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack, the Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins, The Country Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) & the Country Floral Lane 12" x 12" DSP. It is so nice, when you love all of the products in a suite collection, to have one order number for the entire suite.
When I saw this sketch I knew that the Two-Step heart stamps would be about the same size as the heart pictured in this sketch. So I followed the sketch as is. My card front from the gorgeous County Gingham DSP, I embossed a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the New Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. Then I die cut the embossed piece with the 3" x 4 3/8" Stitched Rectangles Dies ( I shortened this to about 4 1/8"). I matted the embossed stitched layer onto a some Sweet Sorbet Cardstock. I popped up the assembled embossed stitched layers on the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. The large heart has been stamped 1st with Mint Macron Ink using my Stamparatus. Then I stamped the second stamp with Sweet Sorbet Ink. This stamp was easy to line up on the Stamparatus. Using a Sponge Dauber and Sweet Sorbet Ink I sponged the edges of the heart. I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the heart. The Mint Macron stitched fishtailed banner & the sentiment banner have been die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the Mint Macron banner to the embossed layer with Liquid Glue. Then I added the Heart with the Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment with Sweet Sorbet Ink on the little Basic white stitched banner. This has been matted onto a little Sweet Sorbet Cardstock rectangle. and finally I finished the card front with a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I adhered the completed card front to the Basic White Thick Cardstock card base with Liquid Glue.
