The new weekly challenges begins today over at
Sunny Challenges & Creations & it was my turn to create the challenge. This time round, along with the
sketch, it is to use
Ribbon on your layout. How easy can it get?
My card has been created for a friend of mine who is celebrating her birthday today. As she lives on acreage, I decided to go with colours that best represent the bush in Australia - Green, Gold & Brown. I've never used these colours together & really like the effect they have created.
On the spur of the moment, I decided to try & use a
Stampin' Up! Wheel somehow in the design.

Inking my
Wheel, I ran it over the long piece of
Whisper White Cardstock, ensuring that the image was up the correct way, which meant that I had to run the
wheel across the Card 3/4 times, ensuring coverage was all over.
Grabbing my
Blender Pen & a
Stampin' Up! Marker - Daffodil Delight, I coloured the flower from the
wheel. As I didn't want this part of the card to be the main focal point, I left it as is. This piece was then adhered to the longer piece of
Old Olive Cadstock with
Snail Adhesive.
Inking up the stem image with
SU! Marker - Old Olive, I stamped it direct to the smaller piece of
Whisper White Cardstock, run it through the
Bigshot using the
Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots, adhered it to the piece of
Old Olive Cardstock using
Snail Adhesive & finally to the piece of
DSP ensuring I followed the sketch before adhering
DSP with
Multipurpose Glue.
I stamped 3 large flower images with
Daffodil Delight onto
Whisper White Cardstock & 3 using
Soft Suede. These were cut out prior to attaching to the card with
Snail Adhesive for the front flower &
Stampin' Up! Dimensionals for the back 2 flowers. All 3 smaller flower images were adhered to the middle of the larger flowers with
Snail Adhesive.
I run a piece of
Satin Ribbon across the bottom part of the
DSP, tucked ends under, tied a knot & adhered the whole lot to the
Base Card - Daffodil Delight with
Snail Adhesive.
The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap piece of
Whisper White Cardstock in
Old Olive Ink, punched using the
Large Oval Punch, adhered to a piece of
Daffodil Delight piece which had been punch with the
Scallop Oval Punch & finally to the card with
Snail Adhesive.
I popped 3
Pearls into the centre of each small flower to finish
