I just completed my second project for Circleville’s NSD Challenges. This one is hosted by Marty (Eyelet on the message board) and she gave us a sketch to follow. I made a card.
I used my Imagine again, printing the papers from the Floral Emporium cartridge. It was my first time using this cartridge — it has some really pretty patterns on it. I printed both the patterned and solid paper.
Here is the sketch:
The blue flap (don’t know what else to call it) is from Elegant Edges <Eyelt1-s>. I stretched it some in each direction in CCR to get it to the size of the card. I then copied that shape and stretched it a bit more to get a shadow. The circle of flowers is from Paper Trimmings <Flower8><Circle>, cut at 3″. The sentiment is from Sentimentals <Letter2><Layer>, cut at 2.5″. Because the letters are so thin and small, I cut them from white vinyl.
The band on the card is two strips of cardstock, one 1″ wide, the other 1.25″ wide. I used an EK Success border punch on them, Deco Scallops.

Super pretty! Love your “flap” lesson too – as always, your layers of color, texture, and depth are wonderful! Great suggestion on the vinyl letters too. Can I tell you that I just love to visit your blog?
Love all the blues and patterns!! Beautiful card!!
