CCMC659 Inspiration

Welcome to another Thursday Challenge with Create with Connie and Mary! https://www.createwithconnieandmary.com  I hope my card inspires you.  Here is a look at today’s sketch challenge:

The Card

An uplifting card made with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set by Stampin' Up! using purples and yellows. I have used the sketch by turning it a quarter turn instead of how it is pictured.  I could send this card to so many people who inspire me. If you need a quick and easy card, this is it!

The Measurements

  • Highland Heather Cardstock (CS) – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
  • DSP – 3″ x 4 1/2″
  • Basic White CS – 3″ x 4 1/2″,  4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
  • Purple Posy – 3 3/4″ x 3/4″

The Details

A side view of an uplifting card made with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set by Stampin' Up! using purples and yellows.

After stamping the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, I colored the flowers and leaves with dark Daffodil Delight, Light Soft Suede, Highland Heather combo, and Old Olive Combo.  As seen in the photo, I stamped the top of the same image on the card’s inside and colored it the same.  Finally, I added a 3/4″ strip of Purple Posy, with glue dots, to the bottom after stamping the sentiment on it. Clearly, you could use any sentiment from Happy Birthday to Thinking of You.

Finishing Touch
