#DOswts432 Sketch Challenge - Pretty In Pink DSP Prints Cheerful Daisies Card

Greetings!

I love a having a sketch to use for a card design.  It gives a great starting point which can make it easier to decide what stamp set to use and what type of sentiment works in the space.  After looking at the sentiment I wanted to use, I chose to flip the sketch and make it a landscape card.

I've been wanting to use the Pretty In Pink gingham print from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a card, and this seemed the perfect time to use it for the three strips on this sketch.  While the Lily Pond Lane DSP has many lovely patterns, nothing seemed right for the background behind the gingham, so I pulled out the patterns from the 2024-2026 In Color DSP assortment, and opted to use the cute little circle print for the background base.  

Isn't it sweet!  The sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set is quite small, so adding a strip of cardstock under it and including the little cluster of flowers filled the white space.  This sketch design is nice and simple which allows for a lot of creative freedom.  I could easily make cards using this sketch, different colors, dies and stamp sets, and have cards for all kinds of occasions without any two looking exactly alike.

I hope this sketch inspires you to grab your supplies and have some fun!

Flowering Zinnias Layering Leaves Thoughtful Wishes Card

Greetings!

I am loving the versatility of the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Papers (DSP).  With such a variety of small prints in bright colors on the flip sides of the many zinnia flower prints, the possibilities seem endless with how they can be combined or added as a simple accent.  I was recently working with my friend Dawn and making cards with the new Hello Hollyhocks card kit.  One of the card bases had a angled printed piece on the bottom part of the card front, with flowers on the upper part.  It was my inspiration for today's card.

I've been wanting to use the all over tone on tone print from the Flowering Zinnias DSP, and the  contrasting print on the flip side works perfectly for the angled piece at the bottom.  Instead of pulling in a bunch of color, I opted to stick with shades of red and pink.  The subtlety of the leafy plant from the Thoughtful Wishes dies in Melon Mambo fits perfectly without taking away from the background print.  

The Stylish Shapes dies are such a go to for me! Anchoring the circle with a banner seemed just the thing, and when searching for the right sentiment the style and size of the fonts in the Layering Leaves stamp set were just what was needed.  I will most likely end up giving this card to my mom on Sunday for Mother's Day.  The sentiment is universal enough to use for so many occasions, and I'm happy my mom is still on this earth to celebrate and honor her on Mother's Day.
