DOswts380 Sketch Challenge: Sunshine & Rainbows Sunny Thoughts

 

Greetings!

Welcome to another fun Stamping with the Stars Sketch Challenge blog hop.  Here's today's sketch:

And here's my card:

This sketch is so quick and easy!  It's a wonderful way to feature your favorite print and I used the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Papers.  These are one of the fabulous items you can earn FREE during SALE-a-bration (Jan 4 - Feb 28, 2022), and this pack is full of colorful, happy prints.  This message from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set is perfect with this print!  That's one of the many things I love about Stampin' Up! - the wonderful coordination between products.

=============================================================

Here's How It's Made:

Ink "Thought you..." stamp with Crushed Curry.  Stamp off once, then stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Adhere to Crushed Curry cardstock panel, then, adhere to So Saffron  card base, centering.

Stamping off is a technique in which you stamp onto scratch or grid paper once or twice before stamping onto cardstock.  This gives a softer color to your image.

Adhere strips of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Papers sunshine print above and below center panel, leaving 1/4" gap between pieces.

Adhere small and large Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestones using the Take Your Pick tool.  

The Take Your Pick Tool makes attaching small pieces easy and precise.  Use the Putty Tip for easy grabbing and placement of small embellishments.

Tie 1/4" Bumblebee Gingham ribbon into a bow and adhere with Multipurpose liquid glue.  

Here's what the inside looks like:

Cut a Basic White cardstock panel 4-1/2 x 3-3/4.  

I chose this sentiment from the Simply Succulents stamp set.  It felt like just the right note to continue the message from the front of the card:

Ink with Crushed Curry, and stamp off once before stamping onto Basic White cardstock.  Adhere to inside of card.

Adhere a 1/2 x 3-3/4 strip of sunshine print near bottom of Basic White panel.
