Here is my card...I flipped the sketch upside down.

I used the sets Daisy Delight, Mother's Day Mini - Squared, Acacia

To make my flower, I stamped three large flowers, one medium and one small flower. I cut them all out and cut between each petal. I then pulled up each petal, put a dimensional between each flower and popped up on my card.

For the scrunched ribbon...I just pulled the thread of the stitched ribbon and created the scrunched look. I love this ribbon. I adhered with score tape.

RECIPE:
STAMPS:Daisy Delight, Squared Mother's Day, Acacia (AnnaBelle Stamps)
PAPER:Cottonball White, Night Eclipse, Bubblegum (Clear Dollar Stamps)
INK:Momento Dye Inks Tuxedo Black, PearTart, Rosebud
ACCESSORIES:Ribbon (AnnaBelle Stamps), Girls Mix Sprinkles (AnnaBelle Stamps), Dimensional Glaze, Scotch Foam Tape

CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE #116

Using the artist's rule of three.

That is the theme for this week's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE #116 on Splitcoaststampers.

I used this adorable digi LITTLE STRAWBERRY COLOR from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.

I used Microsoft publisher to set up an 8 1/2" text box and made another text box within it at the bottom half ( 4 1/4"). I inserted my berries one at a time and added my text next so I could see where it would fit. I put my watermark on the backside of the card in the top half of the text box. I inserted three more berries on the right side of the paper outside my card. Then I printed it out on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of Cottonball White Cardstock.

I cut out my card, folded in half and cut out each strawberry outside of the card. I then popped up the berries with dimensional foam adhesive. Then cut a bottom panel for my card from Lime Juice and then 1/2" wide strips some for the width and some for the heighth. I wove them together, rounded the bottom corners and the bottom corners on the card and adhered the basket bottom with dimensional foam adhesive.

RECIPE:

Stamps/Images:Little Strawberry Color Digi (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Cardstock/Papers:Cottonball White, Lime Juice (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Inks/Markers: Printer
Accents/Tools:Score Tape (from Clear Dollar Stamps), Scotch dimensional foam tape, Computer, Printer, Fiskars small round corner punch
Techniques:Digi, Weaving

THANK YOU FOR VISITING TODAY. ENJOY YOUR DAY. HAPPY EASTER!

Soooooooooooooooo....when I saw today's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #281 on Splitcoaststampers. I just had to print out these cuties and make a simple card that I could give to one of my son's teen friends.

HERE is my inspiration I chose from the challenge site.

What neat stuff on this site. So cute. And I had all boys. I love them anyway...hee hee.

I printed out three of these girls, colored them and cut them out then just popped them up on my CAS (CLEAN AND SIMPLE) card.
