Country Floral Lane - Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop- Sketch Challenge

 Welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley where I am participating in the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop Sketch Challenge today!

The title of my post is a little off - because I was originally going to use the Country Floral Lane DSP with this card - but when I went back and read the instructions to the Sketch Challenge - we were to add a bit of bling!!  So I switched paper and used the Textured Chic paper with the Country Bouquet Bundle to meet the criteria of this month's challenge.


Since this is a Sketch Challenge, we were to make something along the lines of this sketch:

But this is what I forgot when I scheduled the post - it is a DOUBLE challenge!!
We were to include some glimmer and shine!
I actually am glad I was challenged to do this because I never would have made this card otherwise - and I love how it turned out!!

I used the new Country Bouquet Bundle, Petal Pink Cardstock and the Textured Chic DSP.  I punched out all the hearts with the  County Bouquet Punch - which is always a fast an easy way to go! I stamped the outline heart stamp on the big hearts with VersaMark and embossed the edges with Gold Embossing powder.

I started my collage with a diamond shaped piece of Vellum Paper, then layered with a die cut piece of Gold Foil sheet with the texture die from the Chic Dies.  I looped some gold Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it with a glue dot. I just started laying out my hearts until I found the layout I liked best.  Here is a little tip - Take a photo of the way you have it before you pull it all up to adhere the layers - that way you can just follow from the bottom to the top layer as you apply your adhesive and Dimensionals.

I used the gold embossing powder for the sentiment as well and added a few scattered Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins for more glimmer and shine!

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.
