 Hello Again!

This week's Make The Cards Challenge 51 is a sketch challenge and I have these beautiful dahlias from Pinkfresh Studio that I've highlighted for this card sketch!

Instructions:

- Use the Pinkfresh Studio Darling Dahlias stamp to heat emboss the image with Altenew Rose Gold EP on white cardstock (set this aside)

- Use the Pinkfresh Darling Dahlias Layering Stencils to ink up a white panel as follows:

layer 1 - Altenew Rouge Ink

layer 2 - Altenew Velvet Ink

layer 3 - Altenew Sweet leaf Ink

layer 4 - Altenew Just Green Ink

layer 5 - Altenew Icy Water Ink

-Use the Spellbinders Fluted Slimline Rectangles (Largest size) to partially die cut a smaller rectangle from the inked panel

- Cut a 5" x 7" side folding white card base and adhere dark green cardstock to the lower half of the card base front

- Adhere a Sizzix Gold Mirror cardstock strip to the center of the card base front

- Then cut and adhere the heat embossed dahlia panel to the top half of the card

- Add the die cut ink blended panel with foam adhesive to the center of the card

- I had leftover foilage pieces including two gold foiled fronds (made from the Spellbinders Geo Foliage set) and a gold glitter laurel leaf (from the Simon Says Stamp Etched Laurel die set) that I added to the card front behind the sentiment

- The sentiment was also previously foiled in Gold Foil using the Pinkfresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Foil Plate and Die

- Finally embellish with Pinkfresh Studio Champagne Pearls

- I also added the left over cardstock embossed piece and Green and gold cardstock pieces on the left hand side of the card inside as shown below. I thought this just helped continue the design on the inside and besides the inside sentiment, this completed the card!

And that's my inspiration for this challenge! I hope the idea of highlighting a background stencil or stamp using this sketch appeals to you and you can use it in your crafting!

I encourage you to check out the rest of the designer's inspiration and create your own card to link up to the challenge page for a chance to be the challenge winner.
