Today's card was created for the latest Freshly Made Sketches card challenge. I recently picked up the Penny Black Nature's Jewels stamp set from an online purging sale, and immediately had to use it when it came in. Using a 1.25-inch punch from Paper Shapers, I punched three squares. I stamped the floral images on the squares and colored them using my alcohol markers. I matted them onto black cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I die cut a smaller piece of white cardstock using a Paper Rose nesting stitched rectangle die. I embossed the panel using a Lifestyle Crafts geometric embossing folder. I matted that panel onto black cardstock and adhered it onto the card panel. Using a piece of blue patterned paper from my stash that is so old I no longer know who makes it, I created the side border. I popped the stamped squares up using foam tape and adhered them to the card. Using a sentiment stamp from Stampers Anonymous Crazy Talk, I created the sentiment strip and adhered that to the card according to the sketch. I finished the card off with some black gems from Simon Says Stamp. Thank you for visiting my blog today!
