Hi and welcome back to the August month of sketches, where I am sharing my inspiration on the sketches on Page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.
Here is Sketch # 3.

I have chosen to use some of the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper which I have cut into strips measuring 13.5cm x 2.5cm.

The Lily Pond Lane DSP is over my card base of Pretty Peacock cardstock.
For this card I have created a top opening cardbase, the measurements are 10.5cm x 29cm, then scored and folded along the long side at 14.5cm. Again, you can get two card bases out of one sheet of A4 cardstock.
Instead of wrapping ribbon or twine around the whole card front I chose to create a flag out of some Peach Pie Cardstock, with some Linen Thread behind it.
My sentiment is stamped onto a circle of Basic White Cardstock which has been cut using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment and flower are from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, the sentiment stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and the flower in Peach Pie ink.
And to add a touch of bling, some Peach Pie coloured 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
