Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 420 – Sketch Challenge

2 Comments August 8, 2023 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a vibrant Inspiration Challenge. I used gorgeous greens ( Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green) along with the sentiment and flowers from the Sweet Citrus stamp set to create mine. Our design team have created beautiful bright cards so, head over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments page to view them all and then join the challenge.

Here is my card created using the Sweet Citrus stamp set and dies by Stampin’ Up!

I am a big fan of creating your own DSP backgrounds – then you get exactly what you had envisioned! In this case I wanted a fully green pallette of leaves to place flowers on top of. Here is a full list of materials used to create this card.
