Friendship of Beauty CCMC707

Hello, Stampers! Welcome to another week of the Thursday Create Challenge with Connie & Mary. My family and my beautiful friends have incredibly blessed me. So, a friendship of beauty is the theme of my sketch challenge card.

The Sketch:

The Card:

A friendship card done in oceanic colors with an image of a large wave along the bottom.I love the early release of the Wave of the Ocean bundle coming in the new annual catalog that goes live in May. However, the bundle carries over; the gorgeous designer series paper (DSP) is available only while supplies last, as are the foil sheets and Wave Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The Friendship of Beauty Details:

A side view of a friendship card done in oceanic colors with an image of a large wave along the bottom.

I began this card by stamping the large Wave at the bottom of the card front with Night of Navy ink. Next, I  used a sponge dauber and added Pacific Point ink over the stamped image. After layering some DSP on foil, I added the three rectangles shown in the sketch but stair-stepped them instead of lining them up straight down the right side. I stamped the sentiment with Pacific Point ink onto a narrow strip of Basic White cardstock that I arrowed at one end.

The Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana CS – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
  • Blue Foils Specialty DSP – (3) at 2-3/8″ x 1-1/8″
  • DSP – (3) at 2-1/4″ x 1″
  • Basic White CS – 3-3/4″ x 1/2″, and 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the inside.

The Inside:

The inside of a friendship card done in oceanic colors with an image of a large wave along the bottom.Although the sentiment looks more like Night of Navy in this photo, I stamped it with Pacific Point, then die-cut it with a label die from the Waves Dies. I like the way it looks. How about you? Click HERE if you would like to see what the other talented design team members created to inspire you today.
