This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments, we’re excited to bring you a sketch challenge! Challenge #458 is all about creativity and interpretation, and I’m using the Birthday Celebration Bundle along with the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper (DSP) to bring this sketch to life.
Here’s the Sketch for This Week’s Challenge:
Here’s the card I created:
A Closer Look at My Card Design
For this festive birthday card, I followed the sketch layout and added my own creative twist using the Birthday Celebration Bundle and Wildflower Birthday DSP. Here are the details:
Card Base: I started with a Blueberry Bushel cardstock base, which complements the floral tones in the DSP beautifully.
Layered Elements: The background is a vibrant piece of Wildflower Birthday DSP, with a Pool Party banner added horizontally across the card and Pretty In Pink die cut flowers on the sentiment label.
Banner Detail: The banner was textured using the brand-new Online Exclusive Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, adding beautiful dimension to the design.
Focal Point: The “Make a Wish” sentiment from the Birthday Celebration stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink on a stitched square die-cut. The square was created by double cutting the large banner from the Birthday Celebration dies.
Embellishments: Behind the sentiment, I added a bow made with Gold Trim, giving the card an elegant touch. To complete the look, I accented the card with Blueberry Bushel gems from the Tinsel Gem 4-Pack for extra sparkle.
I hope this inspires you to get crafty and play along with this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. Let me know in the comments – how will you interpret this sketch? 😊🎉
