Stamping 411 chllenge 225

I know it's been a while since I blogged but I'm hoping this card makes up for it. I am back from my trip to Nashville and stamping again. Being away always makes me want to get back to start stamping again. Over at Stamping 411 this week they have a wonderful sketch for everyone to start with and they give measurements for the different layers too so putting a card together is fairly easy. I love how this rose just pops off the page, it's probably one of the last roses we'll see for a while. It's getting cold here. Let me know if you have any questions

Paper: Early Espresso, Regal Rose, Rose Red, Old Olive, Retired dsp

Stamping 411 Challenge 212

Welcome, I have another 411 challenge sketch for you today. I am loving these. This card has a lot going on but I will try to explain it for you.

First lets talk color. I used for Card Stock and Ink Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White.

The stamp sets I used are Swirls & Curls Verses (hostess, summer mini) and Awash with Flowers.

Accessories are: Blossom Party Bigz die, Little Leaves Sizzlit die, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Top Note Bigz die, Wild Wasabi 1/2" striped grosgain ribbon

Measurements are as follows:

Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: 5 1/2" x 1 3/4"
Layer 3: 5 1/2" x 1 1/2"
Layer 4: Top Note Die

Layer 5: The happy birthday I stamped on a scrap of WW and cut it down until I liked how it looked. It's about 3" x 1 1/4" then I sponged it with Wild Wasabi and colored in some of the letters. On the panel of flowers I took the Wild Wasabi marker and made little check mark stems.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.
