Cas(e) This Sketch 255 JAI 392


I was happy to use the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch as inspiration for today's card.


I am continuing my exploration of Petal Palette, a gorgeous set that I bought from the new Occasions catalogue. This card uses not only the stamps but also the co-ordinating dies (Petals and More) and embossing folder (Petal Pair).


This card is a rarity for me, made as it is from a single sheet of Heavy Whisper White card, with no extra layers or inserts. I have embossed straight onto the card front then picked out the design by softly (and carefully) sponging on Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz. This sponging was a technique I was shown by my upline's upline - so I guess my Stampin' Up grandmother - Pauline.


The embossing folder is just the right size to emboss the back flap of the envelope perfectly.

Since I'm playing with my new stamps, dies and - newest of all - embossing folder, I'm going to also enter at Just Add Ink's Challenge too.

  9. Beautiful card, Jan. The sponging on the raised embossing almost looks shimmery with those lovely pastels next to the gold die cut! Gorgeous!
