Creative Inspiration with a Sketch
Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
This floral card makes the most of the bright colours and geometric shapes that are part of the Inked Botanicals Suite.
The floral stem image in the Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral Classic Ink. This was layered on to Crushed Curry Cardstock, and then adhered to a Calypso Coral card base. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped in Calypso Coral on Basic White Cardstock, and cut out using the star-shaped punch from the coordinating Inked & Tiled Punch Pack. This punched element was adhered to an offset star shape cut from Lost Lagoon Cardstock, and then added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were added around the stamped floral element.
To create the geometric pattern strip, star and cross elements were punched from Lost Lagoon Cardstock using both of the punches in the coordinating punch pack. The shapes were adhered to the card front to form a row, alternating between the two shapes and leaving a small space in between each element. The overhanging shapes at each side were trimmed to match up with the card front edges. Two additional punched star shapes were carefully scored and folded in half and adhered on top of the central star using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, their central fold lines matching in the middle of the base shape. This was repeated with the cross shapes on either side to complete the 3D geometric pattern.
