Hello there, Friends!! It’s been a week and I FINALLY got a chance to stamp this evening! Getting some crafty time in always lifts my spirits, how about you?
I saw this darling sketch over at Sunday Stamps today and knew at once I wanted to play along:
Isn’t the sketch darling?? I’m not sure if I’m more in love with the layout, or the flower they used for it, lol! Either way, I was inspired to play along!
The fine print says to keep it to a one layer card so that’s what I did. I had to inlay my flower to do it, but I did it!!
I layered my pattern paper over my card base, then die cut the white layer with both the stitched edge die and the daisy die. Once I adhered the white layer to my base, I simply ran a scrap of my pattern paper through the Big Shot with the Daisy die and inset the cut pieces into my white layer! Easy Peasy! I love the little die cut dot in the center…SO cute!!
It’s a lighthearted and fun card, I picture sending it to someone who needs just a bit of encouragement. We all need THAT from time to time!
I don’t recall exactly where I picked up the flower sequins but they sure are cute and a very fitting accent for my card today!
I’m also entering my card in The Challenge: They are having a fun ‘anything goes’ challenge…love those!
I’m also entering it over at CASology whose theme this week is Spring! I LOVE Spring colors!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wishing you joy and blessings!

Paper crafting always lifts my spirits too. Not everyone agrees, but I find it very cathartic.
Love your interpretation of this sketch. The flowered paper is what makes it work. The simple clean flower allows the paper to take center stage. Very fun!
