WooHoo -- it's time for another Saturday Sketch Challenge from the Operators at Stamping 411! Are you ready?
My Inspiration card this week uses the Fabulous Just Believe Stamp Set. I've chosen the colors of Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Whisper White. I colored directly on the rubber with Stampin' Write Markers to get the multi-colored effect on the images.
Additional accessories include the Big Shot, the Movers & Shapers Die (Modern Label Insert) and the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Folder, 5/8" Old Olive Satin Ribbon, The Wide Oval Punch, The Modern Label Punch, a Craft Knife and Stampin' Dimensionals.
Here's the measurements ...
- Layer One -- Elegant Eggplant cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded in half
- Layer Two -- Daffodil Delight cut at 4 x 5.25"
- Layer Three -- Whisper White cut at 3.75 x 4". Stamp your images and run through the Big Shot with the Impressions Folder to emboss. Using a Craft Knife, carefully cut along the edges of the flower that you want to appear on top of the label.
- Layer Four -- Poppy Parade cut at 4 x 1". Punch one edge with a Border Punch. Adhere with SNAIL adhesive. Run a strip of ribbon over the "seam" where layers 3 & 4 meet. Attach to the back with SNAIL adhesive.
Layer Five -- Wide Oval Punch and Whisper White. Stamp Images and then punch out. Ink the edges with Poppy Parade Ink.
- Layer Six -- Using the Big Shot and the Movers & Shapers Die (Modern Label Insert) cut one label from Poppy Parade. Stamp the sentiment on Whisper White cardstock and punch out with the Modern Label Punch. Adhere together and attach to the Wide Oval with SNAIL adhesive. Attach entire label assembly with Stampin' Dimensionals, carefully adhering the cut-out flower to the outside of the label.
- Layer Seven -- Inside of Card -- Whisper White cut at 4 x 5.25". Stamp along one edge.

Another beautiful card, Gretchen. Love how you cut around the flowers so they would lay over the label. You're so talented!!

Thanks so much for a beautiful card. Your instructions are always so helpful. I tried this card and found that the wide oval punch was too small for the modern label. Did you use the Big Shot ovals? Don't have this and I am wondering if I need to purchase it to finish this card! Thanks again.
