Mini Card

 Hi and welcome to this week's challenge from the team at Freshly Made Sketches, where our hostess this week is Jen Mitchell.  I love Jen's sketch - so wide open!  I only had a small window of time to make my card as my daughter unexpectedly came to visit for the weekend and, naturally enough, card-making took a back seat.  But here is what I pulled together and thankfully a lot of it was pre-stamped/pre-made.



The pre-made bits on this card were the flowers, leaves and the envelope and insert.  So all I really had to do was stencil the background and die-cut the curved panel which came from a sample pack of Core'dinations cardstock from a recent stamp order.


I'm not sure what colours I used for the flowers as I ink-blended these while I was away from home for 2 weeks last year and didn't keep a record of the colours used.  They will be Altenew inks though.  The stencil is from Stamperia and I wanted to keep with the letter theme and thought this worked quite well.


Thanks so much for visiting.  The design team have some fabulous cards so I hope you'll check them out.

Products used:

Stamps:  Mini Messages & More (MFT)
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black and various Altenew inks
Cardstock:  White, red (likely MFT), Core'dinations sample pack
Dies:  Floral Spray (Spellbinders), Paper Goods, Stitched Scallop Basic Edges (MFT)
Accessories:  Shabby Rose Stencil (Stamperia), white embossing paste

Cheers
Karren
