TECC30 Spring Sprigs
August 22nd, 2008
Happy Friday! This week’s sketch for the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge (cupcakes NOT required!) is a fun, easy and super versatile one! You just have to come play with us!
And to make it super simple here are the measurements for a 4 1/4″ square card. The main image panel is 2 1/2″ square layered onto a 2 5/8″ square. The diamond panel behind the main image is the same size. Easy Peasy!
This is a great layout to really showcase a larger single stamp image. I chose to use Spring Sprigs by Stampendous – available as part of a card kit at TE.
This was such a quick card to put together. Spring Sprigs was stamped on Neenah Classic White cardstock and colored with Copic markers (click the thumbnail above for a full size photo of the markers used) and highlighted with Diamond Stickles. The card base is Tangerine Tango and the dp is from the Bella Rose pack. Old Olive was used for matting. I applied Diamond Stickles all around the Olive mat on the diamond piece and clear Adorn It Jewels Droplets were used in the corners. Once the card was put together I felt like it just needed something more (big surprise, huh?), but I didn’t have any ribbon that looked right. Copic marker to the rescue. YR09 Chinese Orange is a really great match to Tangerine Tango cardstock, so I dyed some ivory taffeta ribbon and it’s perfect! I’m not an orange person at all, but I really like this card!

And now it’s time to see what the rest of the Cupcake Crew has cooked up:
Ana Wohlfahrt: Ink A Stamp
Stephanie Hargis: Steph’s Stampin’ Stuff
Vicki Chrisman: This Art that makes me Happy
Monika Davis: M.A.D. Stamper
Lynn Mercurio: Stamperosity
Mary Jo Albright: Beauty Lies Within
Sherrie Siemens: Card Creme
and this week’s Featured Stamper Lynn Put at The Queen’s Scene.
I’m hoping to get some serious stampin’ time today. I have some fun new toys to play with – you’ll hear all about those later. I want to play with them before my Stampin’ Up! New Catty order arrives. I’m so spoiled to usually get orders within just s few days – this new catty time is always hard as the pick line gets so backed up. I hope the order ships soon!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Jami, I just LOVE this card. The image is one that I just love. Someone recently sent me a RAK with this image, and so I didn’t know who made it until now! Fabulous job with this week’s sketch challenge.
