A Card Sketch (for CASEing Coast to Coast)

 

Welcome to our June posting of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne in Pennsylvania is taking the lead this month. She has selected a card sketch for us to use as inspiration for our cards. I hope this inspires you to try one as well! Here’s the sketch ~

And here’s Rosanne’s sweet card ~

Such a cute, happy card! You can read all the details on her blog HERE.

For my card, I decided to go red, white, and blue for our upcoming Independence Day holiday in the USA! Light the Sky seemed perfect for a 4th of July card idea with its fireworks display!

My Details:

• Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, with a top fold at 4-1/4″
• Basic White layer, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Red, White, and Blue stripe, 5-1/8″x 3-7/8″
  • To make this background, I cut several strips of cardstock from Real Red and Basic White in different widths. I glued them at an angle to a 5-1/8″x 3-7/8″ piece of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. Once I “stripped it up” I trimmed off any overhanging pieces from the edges.
• Circles cut from Everyday Details Dies (Online Exclusive), 2-3/8″ in Blueberry Bushel, 1-7/8″ in Real Red, and 1-3/8″ in Basic White
  • To these I stamped Light the Sky (Online Exclusive) fireworks with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with Metallics Embossing Powders in silver and gold.
• Sentiment from Light the Sky stamped with Blueberry Bushel onto Basic White, 2-3/4″x 1/2″
• White Baker’s Twine and Iridescent Faceted Gems provide embellishment.
• Envelope: 6″x 3/8″ strip of Real Red and 6″x 2″ Blueberry Bushel (Regals) DSP

Thanks for visiting our blogs today! You’ve seen two very different cards inspired by the same sketch. I hope it sparks some ideas for you to run with and create your own fun cards! Next month we’ll be bringing you The Great Outdoors. Sound like fun? See you then!
