Just for You - a Slim Line card for TSOT #641

 When I saw the sketch challenge at TSOT, I knew I was going to make a slim line card, and I also knew that I wanted to use the faux ribbon technique on the panel on the card front.

I wanted to make a St. Patrick's Day card, but it just wouldn't go together for me, so I abandoned those attempts and created the current card using the "Cheerful Daisies" bundle.

But the idea of using the faux ribbon technique for the panel persisted in my mind. I had some  "Fresh as a Daisy" DSP left over, so I cut a couple of small strips of two of the patterns.  These I adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock 1 1/2 by 8" which I had penciled marks every 1/2", starting with the solid coloured one. See picture below. Does it not look like a ribbon rolling down the paper?

The finished panel was added to a piece of Basic White card stock embossed with a slimline embossing folder that has dots on it. I love adding texture to my cards. This embossed piece was added to the Garden Green card base.

At the bottom left I added some Daisy flowers which I assembled after die cutting them using the dies that coordinate with the stamp set.

The sentiment is from "Celebrating You" and the embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone collection.

Just for You - a Shaker card for #601 Try Stampin on Tuesday

 For this challenge I decided to make a shaker card.  That circle in the sketch was calling out to me "shake it up" - so of course - I did.

The theme was to use pastel colours, so the cardstock used in this card featured Crumb Cake with Seaside Spray.

The theme for this card was to use pastel colours.  Keeping that in mind, I used Crumb Cake for the card base, and layered that with Basic White.  On top of that was adhered a 3 1/2 by 5 1/4" piece of Seaside Spray card stock embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing folder.

In the left end, I used a Circle Stylish Die to create a 2" aperture for the shaker. A piece of clear window sheet was adhered to the wrong side of the die cut circle. Strips of foam tape were added to the edges of the Seaside Spray piece, pastel sequins were added and the shaker was born.  

A frame was added around the outer circle.  This was made by die cutting a piece of Basic White card stock with 2 sizes of the circle die at the same time.

Around the bottom of the circle, I added flowers and greenery from the Framed Florets stamp set.  The flowers were coloured with Light Calypso Coral stampin blend.  The Daffodil Delight in the center was covered up with gold Prills giving the flowers a bit of texture.  I also die cut 2 daisy flowers using the Dainty Delight dies.  I coloured only the center of these .  The leaves and greenery were lightly coloured with Soft Succulent blends,

After lightly shaping the flowers and leaves, I added them around the bottom of the circle using dimensionals. After they were set in place I added some Crystal Effects around the edges of the petals.

The sentiment was stamped on a 1/2 by 3" piece of Basic White .  One edge was notched and then it was added across the middle of the circle using dimensionals.

To finish the card, I added some adhesive backed sequins and a dragonfly trinket.
