Beautiful Promenade

Beautiful Promenade

My card today is created using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the coordinating DSP.  It makes for a lovely card.  It is for a strong young woman who had an accident when she was 19 and became paralyzed from the waist down.  She is a very productive, active life and is an encouragement to all who meet her.  She certainly an inspiration when we complain about little day to day ache and pains and say oh I feel too bad to do that today.  She carrys on and works long, long hours each day to see her dream fulfilled.

My sketch inspirations comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge for this week.

The card recipe:

  • Start with a panel of Petal Pink card stock for the card base.
  • Cut a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel and emboss using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
  • Cut a 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock and a panel 1-1/8″ x 3-1/8″. These are mats for the Petal Promenade DSP.
  • Cut a 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″ panel of Petal Promenade DSP and a  1″ x 3″ panel of the same DSP.
  • Adhered the Petal Promenade DSP to the Blackberry Bliss card stock using Liquid Glue.
  • Cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square from the reverse side of the Petal Promenade DSP that you cut previously.
  • Stamp in the upper corner using Mossy Meadow ink one of the flowers from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.
  • then stamp in Fresh Fig ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock the same flower.
  • Stamp the greeting in the lower left corner using Blackberry Bliss Ink.
  • Fussy cut just the Fresh Fig flower.
  • Pop the flower using Mini Stamping Dimensionals that have been cut in half over the Mossy Green flower in the upper corner of the 2-12″ x 2-1/2″ square.
  • Cut a 2-5/8″ square from the Blackberry Bliss card stock.  This is the mat for the art piece with the flower and the greeting.
  • Pop 2 pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls onto the art piece.
  • Adhere all the panels the way they show in the picture onto the Subtle embossed panel.
  • Adhere the Petal Pink panel to the card base.
  • Scatter three more pearls over the Petal Pink embossed panel after all the other smaller panels have been adhered.
  • The bow is made using Fresh Fig Mini Ruffle ribbon and adhered with a Glue Dot.
  • The inside sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Whisper White that is matted on a panel of  Blackberry Bliss card stock.
  • A different flower from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow in the right corner of the sentiment panel.
