Casual Crafting - Sketch Challenge


I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share.  We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper.  Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month.  I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

Today's card is based on a sketch.  It was fun to create a card using this sketch as inspiration without using my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and dies!


Here's my card. 




Instructions

  1. Cut Crumb Cake cardstock 5 1/2" x  8 1/2" and fold in half to form card base.
  2. Cut Calypso Coral cardstock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base using Stampin' Seal

  10. Punch out daisies using small Daisy punch.
  11. Adhere one daisy on top of the other daisy using a Dimensional - off setting petals
  12. Wrap Linen Thread around palm of hand 3 times and pinch the middle together.  Adhere to Basic White cardstock under leaf using Stampin' Seal.
  13. Adhere large to Basic White cardstock over Linen Thread a Dimensional
