Hello everyone.

Today I’m taking part in the InspireInk blog hop for March 2022, with my talented team mates. This month I had the pleasure of deciding what our challenge would be. I designed this card sketch (or layout) for everyone to interpret…

I really can’t wait to see what everyone else has done for this challenge. Remember to check out their entries by clicking on the blue box down below.

Here’s the card I made with the stunning Elegantly Said bundle and Simply Elegant designer series paper…

My card base is Basic Gray card measuring 21 x 14.5 cm, scored and folded on the long side at 10.5 cm. I embossed the card front with the Gingham embossing folder and then added the following pieces of DSP:

• 3 x 13.5 cm
• 8 x 8 cm
• 6 x 6 cm
• 6 x 1.5 cm (behind the sentiment flag)

I also added a piece of embossed gold foil sheet measuring 4.5 x 4.5 cm. I added this to the card with the embossing running in the opposite direction to the card base.

Finally I stamped the flower and sentiment from Elegantly Said with versamark ink, added gold embossing powder and heat set them. I trimmed the sentiment to fit and layered it with some DSP and cut the flower with the Elegant Tag punch. I added some of the Simply Elegant Trim to the tag and popped it on with dimensionals.
