Celebrate card
Hello! Another Friday, another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week is a sketch challenge. We would love you to play along.
I decided to rotate the sketch a quarter turn to the right. I came across this card by Kelly Rasmussen and I LOVED it…and so the inspiration for my card was born. I had to add the circle element in, so I decided to do some making and distress ink blending on the background to create sun rays. I am really happy with how it turned out.
I used the Shape it Up stamp set to create the dots on the bunting. I even pulled out my neglected sewing machine AND another first in a long time is glitter – to be honest I can’t stand the stuff – I hate how you wear it for days afterwards!! But I needed some extra shine on the card, so went for it!
Don’t forget that Andrea is now offering free digi stamps each month – you can find this month’s freebie here. The Deal of the Week this week (which starts on Friday and will run until the following Friday) is the Shape it Up stamp set which is 20% off for one week.
I’m entering this card in the Stitching & Sewing Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.
