Hey Lady! – Freshly Made Sketches 417

Hey there, hi there, ho there…anyone else know what song those lyrics are from? 🙂

Today’s project features a number of products from Stampin’ Up!’s new Occasions Catalog and their 2020 Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

I absolutely adore this piece of pattern paper from Stampin’ Up!’s new ‘Best Dressed’ collection. I accented the bold color in the DSP with bold color in this darling flower stamp which can be found in Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Little Ladybug’ stamp set. I truly enjoyed coloring the flower with SU’s Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends and then used thin lines of Dark Blackberry Bliss to deepen the color in the center. I then stamped, colored and fussy cut an absolutely darling little ladybug to sit on top of the flower (it makes me think of the smoking caterpillar on the mushroom in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ :))

and little Miss Ladybug pairs perfectly with the sentiment!! Oh my gosh – SO cute!!

I added Journey Glaze to the flower center as well as to little Miss Ladybug, and of course, Wink of Stella to the flower petals.

I love being able to use up every last scrap of DSP – don’t you? My piece of DSP was 6 x 6, so with a panel for the card measuring 4 x 5 1/4, I had a 6 x 2 piece left over which I used to cover the envelope flap. I also had a 4 x 3/4 inch strip left so with a strategic trim to one end of it, I was able to add it to the inside of my card. Waste not, want not, right?!?

And here’s a peek at the inside of the card:

This card will be going in Monday’s mail to my mom, I hope she likes it as much as I do!

The latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge was the inspiration for my layout:

I struggled with having the main panel all the way over to the far right, but that’s what challenges are for, right?!?

Thank you SO much for stopping by!
