A Little Note -- Paper Craft Crew Challenge #431

 This card was made for the sketch challenge with the Paper Craft Crew Horizontal challenge #431

For this sketch challenge, I started with a base of Thick Basic White card stock and layered it with a layer of retired Purple Posy card stock.  That colour goes so well with the Hand-Penned DSP that I will be using on the rest of the car. This card stock was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder giving the card some much needed texture.

Towards the right side of the card base I added a 3 1/3 by 3 7/8" of Hand-Penned DSP the edges of which were sponged with Highland Heather ink.

On top of that but towards the left, I added a 2 1/4 by 3 1/2" piece of Basic White, the edges of which were also sponged with Highland Heather. This is the Art Piece.

On a separate piece of Basic White I stamped and coloured one of the floral clusters from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  The image was coloured using the fill stamps after which it was die cut with the image specific Penned Flowers die. This die cut was added to the Art Piece. Below the image on the Art Piece, the sentiment (from Pansy Patch) was stamped using Gorgeous Grape ink.

Across the lower part of the card, I added a stitched scallop strip (in Purple Posy) which was die  cut using one of the Penned Flowers dies On the left side of this strip a bow made using the 3/8" Fresh Freesia organza ribbon was added.

Some Pastel Pearls added to the flower centers and at the end of the sentiment finishes the card with a bit of glam.

 This stamp set has some images that look delicate and rich and lends itself to a variety of techniques.

For this card, I used watercolor paper, ink pads and water brushes to create this art piece.  The colours I used were pulled from the DSP.

After embossing the image with Black embossing powder, it was coloured with the following colours:  Highland Heather with shading done with Gorgeous Grape; Daffodil Delight with shading done with Bumblebee; Just Jade.  The background wash is done with Pool Party.

The sentiment was stamped using Black Memento ink on the lower right.

The completed image was die cut with the new Scallop Contour Dies and added to the card front using dimensionals.

The card base is Gorgeous Grape layered with Basic White embossed with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder.  A strip of Hand-Penned DSP was added to the left side.  Some Gorgeous Grape organza ribbon was added in the center of this DSP.
