Hello Friends and welcome to this month's Stamping With The Stars Sketch Inspiration Hop. I am so glad you are here to see November's sketch. Have you ever wondered what the "DO" stands for with my blog posts? Well, it stands for Dawn Olchefske. She is the leader of the team of which I am a part with the Stampin' Up! Company. She has these awesome blog challenges twice a month. One is always a sketch which is this one. So, let's get started!
Here is the sketch:
And here is my interpretation of the sketch.
The focus on this card is the beautiful designer series paper called Garden Walk. This pack of 6 x 6 paper has beautiful floral designs on one side and coordinating designs on the backside as what is featured in this card.
I punched out the gorgeous poinsettia with the 2-3/8" circle punch. The white frame was created using 2 circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. I taped the 2 next to the largest circle shapes together and die cut this to make the frame. I love the stitching that these dies make on the cardstock.
I wanted to have the white boarder along the panel of designer series paper which helps it pop next to Pretty Peacock cardstock.
The inside has a piece of white cardstock with a little 1/2" strip of the designer series paper from which the poinsettia was punched.
After stamping the sentiment from the Throughout the Year cling stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, I needed a little extra for this card. I added a few gold Blooming Pearls embellishments as well as a double bow from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack. I also added a bit of Wink of Stella clear glitter on the veins on the poinsettia just to try to bring out the contrast.
