March 2023 Sketch Inspiration

I'd like to introduce to you a new element to the blog. Each month, I'll bring to you a sketch/layout to provide you with some inspiration. Use whatever products you have on hand or purchase the products from my online store.  What's most important is that you share them with me.

Email me a picture of your card and I will feature your creations in the following month's blog post.

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
The bright colors in this card are perfect for the floral imagery in this design, made using items from the new Hello, Irresistible Suite that's now available as part of our Online Exclusive product offering.

The Designer Series Paper panel was cut from the Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight pattern in the Hello, Irresistible 6" x 6" DSP. It was stamped with the two floral images from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set using Flirty Flamingo, with additional texture added using the splatter stamp from the same set stamped using Petal Pink.

The floral and leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set were stamped onto Basic White Cardstock using Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Granny Apple Green. These elements were cut out using the coordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies. The sentiment was stamped using Basic Gray, again on Basic White Cardstock, and fussy cut using Paper Snips. All elements were attached to a Basic White stitched circle (die cut using the largest 3" circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies) using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A length of the Variegated ½" Balmy Blue and White Ribbon was colored using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends alcohol marker. Adhere the DSP panel to a Flirty Flamingo Cardstock layer and a length of ribbon wrapped around both layers. The focal floral element was added over the top of the ribbon band using Stampin' Dimensionals, a ribbon bow was attached with a glue dot, and the finished panel was layered onto a standard Basic White Cardstock base.
