Artfully Composed Daisy Birthday Card, InspireINK Sketch Challenge Blog Hop. March 2022

Good Morning Everyone

I'm blog hopping with the fabulous InspireINK ladies today, and this month we have a sketch to follow.

I love sketches, they can help you create a card in no time, and really help kick start you mojo if it's failing you!!

The Artfully Composed DSP is so pretty, and I have some scraps so I thought it was ideal for this card. The Daisy looks sweet and softens those bolder tones.

Here's the sketch layout that Heather has chosen for us all to follow. I tweaked it slightly and most of the pieces were just pulled from my scraps pile, but I used the basic principle and design and I'm really happy with how it turned out

scrap

Artfully Composed DSP
1pc - 4" x 5 3/4"

1pc = 5 1/2" x 2"

1pc - 3"x 3"

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

1pc - 1 12" x 1 1/2"

-----------------------------------------

Take the Pear Pizzazz card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, add the basic white piece to the inside.

Add the larger piece of DSP to the card front and then arrange the remaining pieces of DSP as per the card above. I played around withe the layout ever so slightly to make the pieces i already had fit.

Cut out two of the flowers from the Daisy punch and sponge the edges. Lay them on top of one another and offset to create a full flower. Add some wink of stella to the edges of the petals, where you have sponged. Place some of the classic matte gems to the centre of the flower head.

Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of basic white and then using the tailored tag punch banner tail either end.

Place onto the card along with the Daisy, making sure the daisy shape doesn't cover any of the wording.

Finally add some wink of stella to some of the leaves on the DSP.
