Happy Monday, hope you had a great weekend, back to the daily grind! Short four day week for me, I have a vacation day set for Friday – my husband and I will be going to the “Rogers Flea Market” for the day, great way to spend time looking for some vintage items and great local produce. Will let you know it goes Saturday!
This weekend I found the “Just and Ink ” blog and thought I would give there challenge a try. Here is the sketch, click on sketch for a direct link back to their blog for other great designs.
For my card I used a unique size – the card base is 3.5″ wide and 5.5″ tall (its top folding), with the stamped image the completed card is 4.25″ wide – or standard size in the United States. The card base and embossed layer (backed with Stampin Dimensionals) is Crumb Cake, one of my favorite neutral colors. The starburst is Melon Mambo and the image is a combination of Kinda Eclectic and Beautiful Bunch stamp sets. Greeting is from the Aged Awareness Stamp set, which is photopolymer and makes placement very easy. Here is the card:
Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Kinda Eclectic, Beautiful Bunch, Age Awareness
Paper: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, WIld Wasabi and Whisper White
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake
Accessories: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Starburst and Circle Collection Framelits, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Hexagon punch for banner ends, 7/8″ Scallop Circle punch, Stampin Dimensionals, Liquid Glue and Subtles Candy Dot

Wow – this is gorgeous Karen! The bright pops of colour against the Crumb Cake card base are just so pretty. Glad you found us, and played along at Just Add Ink this week. 🙂
A great card and a great take on this weeks sketch, Karen. I like the circle hanging off the side of the card. It adds a fun element to this bright and cheerful birthday card. Thanks for playing at JAI ♥
I love that big bright floral panel Karen. The sunburst and leaves really add some great depth and extends that lovely flower. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
