Good afternoon.
Today sees the start of a new sketch challenge over at STAMPlorations. After the hectic stencil bloghop it's back to regular business.
This is the card I would like to share today using the new sketch.
Today sees the start of a new sketch challenge over at STAMPlorations. After the hectic stencil bloghop it's back to regular business.
This is the card I would like to share today using the new sketch.
It also uses some of the new stamp sets from the incredibly talented Dee, from Dee's Art Utopia. This set is called Blooming Buds and I was so excited to find it in my letterbox last week and couldn't wait to play with it.
I started by stamping two of the flower heads and leaf cluster on a panel of card, which I coloured with Copics. I then stamped the large flower head, bud and large leaf on a scrap of card and then coloured and fussy cut them. The Happy Birthday was stamped on a thin strip of scrap card.
I cut down an A6 (UK) piece of card and put a thin strip of dark pink card down two inner edges.
The panels were then mounted over the stamped panel allowing it to peep through. I assembled the fussy cut pieces then attached them over the recessed stamped panel.
OK, now it's over to you. Pop over to see what the rest of the DT and our fab GDs have made for more inspiration.

This is a lovely design Julie, I really like the way you have raised the card round the panel, works very well indeed. Might have to try that idea if you don't mind.
