WSC #17

I finally got a chance to stamp... Whoohoooo!! Here's what I came up with for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #17... If, for some crazy reason, you haven't had a chance to visit her site and drool over her beautiful creations... Get over there already! :)

I started with a 5 1/4" square card base of Soft Sky CS. I then inked up my So Swirly Jumbo Wheel with Soft Sky and rolled it across the bottom of the card.

The next thing I did was cut out the layers for the center of the card: striped paper (2 1/2 x 5 1/4"), Sahara Sand (2 3/4 x 5 1/4"), other patterned paper (2 x 5 1/4"). I used my Slit Punch to make the scallop edge, and then used the leftover reverse image for the top of the center panel. I layered all my pieces and added the ribbon before attaching it to the card base.

Lastly, I worked on the scalloped circle. I used my Coluzzle (line 7) to create the Real Rust circle, then used my corner rounder to give it a scalloped edge. After all the scallops were punched, I used my Crop-A-Dile to cut the holes in the scallops. I then cut out my other circles: Pretty In Pink (line 6), Whisper White (line 4). I inked up the So Swirly Jumbo Wheel with Real Rust ink and ran it over the Pretty In Pink circle.

For the main image I stamped the stem in Wild Wasabi once on a piece of scrap paper, then stamped it on my Whisper White circle. I then used the flourish stamp in So Saffron a few times before attaching my main flower with a mini pop dot. After I attached the flower I thought it would be fun to give it a little sparkle... LOL, why don't I think about these things BEFORE attaching them?? :) I used a little scrap piece of paper to protect the card, and used my Making Memories Glittler Glaze on top of the flower. So cute!
