Hello friends! Another week has come and gone and here we are with another Sketch Challenge from the Stamping 411 Operators!
As you can see, I decided to flip this sketch on it's side this week with a beautiful card created with the Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set and the beautiful new Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. The colors are Marina Mist, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I colored directly on the rubber stamp with Stampin' Write Markers for the focal image.
Here's the Measurements:
Layer One -- Cardbase of Crumb Cake cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded.
- Layer Two -- Marina Mist cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8"
- Layer Three -- DSP cut at 5 1/4 x 4". I did a little paper piercing on the bottom right-hand corner after I attachd the next layers.
- Layer Four -- Marina Mist cut at 2 3/4 x 3 3/4"
- Layer Five -- Crumb Cake cut at 2 5/8 x 3 5/8
- Layer Six -- Very Vanilla cut at 2 1/2 x 3 1/2". Stamp images. Once assembled (but before attached to the card base), run 5/8" Marina Mist Satin ribbon from top to bottom, adhering on the back of the card. Attach bow.
- Inside of Card -- Very Vanilla cut at 4 x 5 1/4". Stamp additional image in the corner.
That's it for this week. I'm so glad you visited today. I hope you'll take a few minutes to check out Stamping 411 and see what the other Operators have created with this sketch. When you've finished your own creation, link back to us on Stamping 411 so we can all enjoy your creativity!
Great color combination! I love the paper you chose. It's all so elegant together! :D

Beautiful card, Thank you so much for putting the measurements of the layers. Wish more would do that it helps when you are in a hurry (seems like I'm always in a hurry) to make a card. I have several sketch books and they don't put the measurements-would help if they did. When I have time I go through and try and label the sketches.
