Batik Boutique Wonderful Birthday Card. Crafty Collaborations Sketch Challenge Blog Hop. August 2021

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the third sketch of the week! It's a fabulous sketch, and I knew instantly what I wanted to create.

I haven't used the Batik Boutique stamp set as much as I thought I would So far, so I definitely need to plan in some more projects with it soon, because it's just so pretty!

Here's the sketch we had to follow...

Measurements

Shaded Spruce Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

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

4pc - 1 5/8" x 2 5/8"

1pc - scrap

So Saffron Card Stock

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

Fold Your shaded Spruce Card Stock along the score line to create your card base. Add the larger piece of basic white to the inside. Adhere the So Saffron piece to the front.

On the 4 small rectangles stamp the flower outline image in memento into the centre of each. Once dry, colour in using a selection of Stampin Blends. Arrange these four pieces onto the card front, making sure you space them evenly as you can.

Ink up the sentiment in memento and stamp onto a scrap of basic white and cut out using the tailored tag punch, also cut a shape out of a scrap of Shaded Spruce card. Cut this one in half lengthways and adhere behind the stamped one, making sure you have a nice increment of colour showing at the top and bottom.

Add this to the card front, into the centre as much as you can, making sure that you don't cover up any of the stamping below.

Please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop to see what everyone else has done with this sketch layout
