Today, I'm sharing design team inspiration for the My Favorite Things Sketch Weekly Sketch Challenge (#678). I've enjoyed making Christmas cards over the past few months, but I'm ready for spring!
For this happy, springtime card, I started by stamping the flowers and butterflies from the SY Butterflies and Blooms stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic XPress-It Blending Card. After I colored them with Copics, using a Uni-Ball Gel Impact Pen (white) for details on the butterflies, I fussy cut them with scissors.
I cut two 6.25" x 4.75" panels from Smooth White cardstock. I used the largest die from the Stitched Rounded Arch STAX Die-Namics set to cut a window on one panel. I used the Cloud Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon) to create clouds on the uncut panel. I used foam dots to make a "sandwich" between the two layers to create dimension.
I added foam dots to the flowers and butterflies, then adhered them to the white arched "sandwich" to create a garden scene. I cut a 1.25" x 3.5" panel from the Woodgrain Whimsy Paper Pad to resemble a flower box, then popped it up with foam dots. I stamped a sentiment from SY Butterflies and Blooms on a 3/8" x 4.75" white rectangle, then added that on top of the flower box. I adhered the final scene to the card base, using Black Licorice cardstock as the largest mat (5" x 6.5").
