Welcome to Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge no 8!
This week's design is by Justyna Cieslinska of Perfect Crafts:



I decided to go with a birthday card for this design after pondering it for a while. I think the image managed to get from my head to the card fairly accurately!




The base is Whisper White thick cardstock, measuring 7" x 5" (folded size) - cut to 7" x 10", scored and folded at 5".
The DSPs on the front are again from my current top favourite, the 'It's My Party' DSP stack - I can't make myself use any other DSP at the minute! Love it!
The sentiment in the centre is from the 'Party Wishes' stamp set, stamped in Melon Mambo ink on to Whisper White cardstock, punched out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch and elevated with Dimensionals. I used the small size of the 'It's My Party' enamel dots in Melon Mambo to decorate the bottom.
The small flowers decorating the top of the sentiment are punched from Melon Mambo cardstock from the 'It's My Party' cardstock pack using the Petite Petals punch and decorated with the large sized Pearl Basic Jewels to add contrast. They are attached just above the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots.
I elevated the petals slightly by pressing the blunt end of my Paper Piercing Tool into the centre of the flower.





Hope you like it! Please feel free to comment as you pass through.

  2. Love the card design, so pretty and colourful. Using 3 different dsp's makes it really stand out. Think I might have to have a go at making this one, if you don't mind?
