This week, Stef has given us a great sketch to work with.
I stamped, coloured and cut Miss Triceratops. She's a mix of Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Pretty in Pink. I used one of the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut a circle on which I sponged some Granny Apple Green with a Blending Brush, then stamped on some grass.
My card this week was inspired by this photo of my granddaughter visiting a local sunflower field a few weeks ago. She just loved those sunflowers and talked about them a lot!
She also loves dinosaurs, her favourite being triceratops. So I used Stef's sketch to make her a Valentine's card.
Darling Dinos had everything I needed! I started by stamping a row of sunflowers top and bottom of the Basic White card front. I coloured them in Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. Hard to see in the photo, but the centres have a nice glimmer from Wink of Stella.
I embossed a smaller piece of Basic White with the Sale-a-Bration Starburst folder, since the design reminded me of flowers, and attached it to the centre of the card front

After popping on Miss Triceratops up on dimensionals, I added in some Pretty in Pink love hearts.
Finally, I stamped the 'Love You' in Crumb Cake and flagged the ends before adding it.
All done (and hopefully perfect) for little Miss Three. 💕

ReplyDeleteWhat could be more perfect for a lover of dinosaurs and sunflowers, than a pink triceratops bordered with bright yellow blooms? Love the embossed panel too. This card has cuteness overload Jan - adorable!
ReplyDeleteJan, your card is absolutely adorable! I love how you personalized this for your granddaughter with her favorite sunflowers and the cutest triceratops in PINK! And using the embossing in the background seems to carry on the floral part of the theme. So, so cute, I hope she love it as much as I do!
