2 Cards - 1 Sketch with White Rose Crafts LLC

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with my take on April's Sketch.

As you know each month White Rose Crafts LLC has a sketch challenge. I decided to create 2 cards based on the sketch. I create one card on the feminine side and one on the masculine side.

Here are April's sketch and a link to the challenge.

Let's get started by gathering the supplies for both cards. I used mostly March's Blue Skies Kit for both cards. I used the new in the shop Specialty Pattern Paper - Craft Creations - White with Holographic foil. I only added 2 dies, two shades of Blue cardstock from my stash and the card bases.

Card One: Happiness is a Journey not a Destination
(Feminine version)

Please note that both cards are created in the same way.

First, I cut all the components to the card. I trimmed 3 butterflies from one of the pattern papers. I also die cut from both cardstock and specialty paper a postage stamp mat. 

Next, I first inked all the edges of the pattern papers. Then, I adhered the pattern paper to the blue cardstock front panel. I repeated adhering the pattern paper to the coordinating cardstock pieces. As for the die cut pieces - I trimmed away the decorative edge on the pattern paper so that I would have the blue cardstock edge.

Then, I layered the smaller first and then the longer as per the sketch.

Next, I adhered the die cut stamps, the top and bottom are flat onto the card front panel. the middle one I added a bit of low profile foam tape.

Then, I adhered the sentiment - also with foam tape.

Now, for some butterflies. I added some foam tape to the wings of the butterflies for some dimension.

Next, I added some finishing touches. I added 3 Sparkle Blends - Sunny Skies from the kit. Just above the sentiment. I also added a bit of Wink of Stella on the word HAPPINESS. Now, the card is complete.


Card 2: Hello (Masculine version)


Please note that both cards are created in the same way.

First, I cut all the components to the card. I also die cut from both cardstock and specialty paper 3 Stitched Hexagon shapes. I also used all the circle buttons from March's Blue Skies Kit 

Next,  I first inked all the edges of the pattern papers. Then, I adhered the pattern paper to the blue cardstock front panel. I repeated adhering the pattern paper to the coordinating cardstock pieces. As for the die cut pieces - I trimmed away the decorative edge on the Craft Creations - White with Holographic foil so that I would have the blue cardstock edge.

Then, I layered the smaller first and then the longer as per the sketch.


Next, I adhered the die cut hexagons, the top and bottom are flat onto the card front panel. the middle one I added a bit of low profile foam tape.

Then, I adhered the sentiment - also with foam tape. Next, I adhered 3 buttons on the top and bottom hexagon. I made sure to overlap the sentiment on the middle hexagon. 

Next, I added some finishing touches. I added 3 Sparkle Blends - Sunny Skies from the kit. Just above the sentiment. I also added a bit of Wink of Stella on the word HELLO. 


Now, the card is complete.
