Whale of a Time Happy Birthday Card. Crafty Collaborations Challenge Blog Hop April 2021

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the Crafty Collaborations Monthly Challenge Blog Hop and we have a sketch layout to follow for this Month. I love a sketch challenge as it helps guide you into the design whilst still leaving the scope wide open for a variation of designs and finishes - and you will see that today when you hop around all these different interpretations of the same sketch

Measurements

Balmy Blue Card Stock

1pc - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Vellum

1pc - 2" x 7"

Whale of a Time DSP

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

2pc - Fussy Cut Whales

Fold the Balmy Blue card stock along the score line and add the basic white piece to the inside.

Take the vellum and wrap it around the length of the DSP, securing the ends at the back of the paper. This is a great trick to use when you don't want to cover much of the vellum but still have is secured down. I also added a small dot of liquid glue under the vellum where I will put the lower part of the circle.

Add this panel to the card front.

Punch a 2" circle from Balmy Blue card stock and stamp the sentiment from Here's a Card in Pacific Point. Pop a few dimensionals onto the back of this and add to the card front. I added quite a few to this, just so that I was sure there was some adhesion to the DSP as well as the vellum.

Add the two fussy cut whales, and three pearls around the circle.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, please take a look at the list below and check out everyone else's sketch interpretations
