Freshly Made Sketches #387

Hi everyone, this is my 2nd post for today as I am making the most of a little play time and playing along with some of my favourite challenges.

The challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches is this great sketch by the Clean Team.  It is certainly a sketch I will be using again.  


I have cut three 1" strips from a piece of 6" x 6" Rich Razzleberry Designer Series Paper from the Regals Designer Series Paper Pack.   You can get four cards from a 6" x 6" piece using by cutting the strips a 1" x 3".

TIP: To get the reverse flag ends on the 3 pieces of Designer Series Paper, stack the 3 pieces on top of each other and feed into the Triple Banner Punch.  You do not want to do this the normal way, but turn the punch over and feed the pieces into the punch from the back.  By putting the 3 pieces in at the same time they will all be the same size.

Adhere these 3 strips in place making sure to leave enough space at the top for the sentiment.  The sentiment 'Happiest Birthday To You' is from the Needle & Thread stamp set and was stamped using Black Memento ink.

The flowers are from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and I have stamped these using Berry Burst, Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, Mango Melody and Black StazOn ink.   They were cut out using the Bouquet Bunch Dies.

The foliage was made from Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut using the Bouquet Bunch Dies.

Thank you for visiting
