Friendly Hello Birthday Card #AHSC#664

This past weekend we had another atmospheric rain storm but fortunately that has passed on and we are now seeing the sun and feeling much warmer weather.  Snow may be on the way though by next weekend so I'm taking advantage of the change and getting some walking in.   

Oh well, I'm going to try and put some more sunshine in my life by playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Challenge #664 this week.  Here's the sketch that was designed by Michelle and digitalized by Brandi.  Wow it's impressive.  


Here's my card: 

I made a feminine birthday card using this sketch that incorporates blending and images.  Here is my card:


Supplies and Instructions:

Stamps and Dies: 

  • Friendly Hello #158075 R-SAB set No Dies
  • Stitched Circles Dies for sentiment 
  • 3 leaf punch (r)
You don't always have to take blends and colour in a whole flower.  I used a sponge dauber to add subtle colour in a circular motion to the center of these flowers.  The glossy effect in the center is made by adding a small amount of Nuvo Drops.  It forms kind of a dew drop effect when it dries and gives the flower some depth and dimension. 

Cardstock and Designer Paper:

  • Basic White Card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Basic White mattes cut two - 5" x 3 75" for front and inside
  • Basic White scraps for sentiment and two sets of double flower
  • Basic Black cut two mattes 5 1/4" x 4" for front and inside
  • Scraps basic black for leaves and circle frame
  • Scraps Lost Lagoon for floral die cut stems 

Ink:

  • Memento Basic Black ink
  • Lost Lagoon

Accessories: 

  • Blending Brush
  • Four square decorative mask #161285 (R)
  • Nuvo Drops for flower centers
  • Circle template
  • Adhesive backed Black Studs x 3 #160767

Well, what do you think?  I'd love to hear from you so let me know if  this card works for you and if so what do you like about it. And, if you're thinking of joining in the AHSC for this week, I'd also love to see what you've made, so send me a message.  Cheers and have a great crafting week!

HAPPY STAMPING!
