Hello All!

Thank you for peeking in Today!

Today’s Card is for A Sketch Challenge from the Paper Players #430  (PP430)

 

Here is the Sketch!

 

Here is my Card!

I do Love this DSP!

Originally I bought just the DSP…The DSP convinced me to buy

the stamp set and the little flower embellishments!

 

Here is a Close Up of the Embellishments!

I decided to add Rhinestones to the center of the flower embellishments!

 

Here is how I did the inside of my Card!

 

HERE IS THE LIST OF ITEMS USED TO MAKE MY CARD:

CARDSTOCK:

Whisper White Thick- card base

Whisper White Regular- to stamp the flowers, leaves, and a piece to back the pink and white Vellum

DSP:

Floral Romance Specialty DSP- the 3 panels

STAMP SETS:

Wonderful Romance- flowers, leaves, greeting, inside floral

Special Celebrations- inside sentiments

INKS:

Mossy Meadow- leaves on front…fussy cut out

Fresh Fig- small flowers inside

Crumb Cake- greeting and inside sentiment

NOTE:

I used one of my Stampin’ Blocks as an ink pad. I pushed the block onto the ink pad, then

I dropped 2 drops of glycerin onto the ink. I used my Blender Pen (I have one devoted to the glycerin) picked up a dab of glycerin and swirled around into the ink and used that to water color all the leaves, flowers and flowers!

ACCESSORIES:

Frosted Floral Embellishments- in Fresh Fig and Petal Pink

Basic Jewels Rhinestones- used in the center of flower embellishments and one on the greeting

 

Here is my Card again!
