Inspire Create Challenge #208 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

For Challenge #208 we are all making projects using a sketch challenge!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I have used the Florals in Bloom designer series paper to make the background.

To make the panels I started by cutting a 5⅝ strip. From this I cut away strips at ¾ inch, ¼ inch and 2⅛ inches.

The 2⅛ inch piece was cut at both ends at 1½ inches.

Pieces were added to Pretty in Pink two tone cardstock. I added some twine and adhered this to a Strawberry Slush card base.

Birds were stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and “coloured” with Wink of Stella.

Finally, I added the fussy cut sentiment and flat pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!
