June Blog Hop, a Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the June edition of the Hoppers' Blog Hop.  This month we're been tasked to use a sketch challenge.  Tina Davis, one of the Hoppers designed the sketch.  She's also got some blog candy: a pack of the Everyday Elegance cards!  Those cards are so handy to have when you need to make a quick card.

Here's my card:

I decided to use the new stamp set called Make a Cake along with some designer series paper called Patio Party.  I earned both of them for recruiting a new team member during Sale-a-Bration.  Stampin' Up! does a great job at rewarding its demonstrators.

Here's the original sketch:

Of course, I couldn't stop at one card!  I punched four flowers using the Blossom punch using Daffodil Delight card stock, then I separated each flower to get two layers,  It takes a little time to soften the card stock with a bone folders, but it is so worth the time.  (Fellow demonstrator Cathy Parlitsis has a video on her blog on how to make these Blossom flowers.)  The only ink I used on this card was to sponge the edges of the petals in Tangerine Tango.

Stamps: Make a Cake, Itty Bitty Banners/ none
Paper: Primrose Petals, Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Patio Party designer series paper/ Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Daffodil Delight, Floral District dsp,
Ink: Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit/ Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stampin' Dimensionals/ Blossoms punch,  Stampin' Dimensionals

Here is a link to everyone's blogs.  Happy Hopping!
