I can’t believe the roll I have been on – will it last?????

This card has been created for 2 challenges, the sketch over at Mary-Jo’s Blog which is a Blog Hop. The other is from Handstamped Sentiments which is a theme – Summer. I know it is hard to imagine summer here in Australia at the moment, but I did use paper & stamps from a past Mini, which I thought suited the challenge well.

Base Card – Old Olive – 5 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ or 15cm c 10.5cm

Layer 1 – DSP – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm

Layer 2 – Tempting Turquoise – 4 1/2″ x 3″ or 11.5cm x 7.5cm

Layer 3 – Old Olive – 4 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ or 11cm x 7cm

Layer 4 – Tempting Turquoise – 3 3/8″ x 2″ or 9cm x 5cm

Layer 5 – Whisper White – 3 1/4″ x 1 7/8″ or 8.5cm x 4.5cm

I stamped images directly onto the Whisper White Cardstock, using Old Olive Ink & adhered to the piece of Tempting Turquoise. I did stamp off a couple of times for some of the images. For my sentiment, I used Early Expresso Ink.

I run the piece of Old Olive Cardstock through my Bigshot using the Embossing Folder – Square Lattice. It reminds me of Bamboo & Thatching, so thought it very appropriate. This was then adhered to Tempting Turquoise, to the DSP & then to the Base Card – Old Olive.

I stamped my flower onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Daffodil Delight Ink, cut it out & adhered using a SU Dimensional. After stamping my inside, I then decided that the front looked a bit “Yuh” so I then stamped 2 smaller flowers using Tempting Turquoise Ink. I adhered these using SU Dimensionals. It bought the whole card alive. Much happier. I added 3 Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.
