Petal Park Earthen Elegance Happy Birthday Card. Crazy Insta Craft Challenge #34

  Good Morning Everyone!

Happy New Year's Eve. I'm still not quite sure how we are ready to bring in a New Year already - this year seems to have absolutely flown by!

Today I'm hopping for the Crazy Craft Challenge #34 over on Instagram and we have a fabulous sketch layout to follow.

I decided to stick pretty much true to the sketch and use a combination the Earthen Elegance DSP and the Sentimental Park & Petal Park stamp sets.

What do you think?

scraps

Pretty Peacock Card Stock

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

Earthen Elegance DSP

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

1pc - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

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

Take the Moody Mauve Card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the Basic White panel to the inside.

Stamp the Happy Birthday Sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and stamp all along the Pretty Peacock stick of Card stock. Add this to the larger piece of DSP, about an inch from the left.

Place this onto the card front.

Ink the outline leaf image in Pretty Peacock and stamp pretty centrally on the 2 3/4" square piece of DSP - it doesn't fit fully, so try to get as much on as possible. Ink up the solid leaf image and fill in the outline image with 2nd Generation (stamped off once) Pretty Peacock Ink.

Using a blending Brush, ass some Moddy Mauve ink to the edges of the Moody Mauve 2 3/4" square piece of card.

Layer these two squares together, off setting to create that fun shape - add this to the card front, making sure that the image is straight.

On a scrap of Moody Mauve stamp the cluster of three flowers in Moody mauve ink, and with the blending brush add a small amount of ink, concentrating on the flower centre. Cut out using the coordinating punch. Add these to the card front over the leaf images.

Finally Stamp the sentiment 'Happy Birthday' twice on scrap Basic White. Then cut away the words to separate them. I stamp twice and use one word from each strip, as the words are quite small and close, this allows me to get a wider border around each word - then place these below the flowers on the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - why not pop over to Instagram and check out the hop! Vickie Lou Designs Instagram
