Inspirational Sketches, Everyday Details, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you card to share with you using the "Inspirational Sketches" set. Please read on to see how I made it.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Forever Love" 12" x 12" package. I don't know why I had ordered it but I thought I should play with some of it before it retires. 

The diamond shaped die from the "Everyday Details" die set was used twice to make the dotted design on the left side of the piece of DSP. I added tape on the right side and little dots of glue to the left side and set it in place on the front of the card base.

The bird is from the "Inspirational Sketches" set and was stamped using black Memento ink. I colored it in using my light Lost Lagoon Blends pen. I was going to use the Pretty Peacock but it was way too dark so I had to go with the next closet color. The belly was colored in using the light and dark Petal Pink Blends pen and the beak, feet and branch were colored in using the light Pecan Pie Blends pen. I cut the piece using the die from the "Everyday Details" set. The piece was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I just eyed it so it was equal (enough) on the left, top and right.

The words are from the "Inspirational Sketches" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I die cut them using the die from the same "Everyday Details" set. I set them in place using Dimensionals and the card was done. 

Such a sweet bird. I forgot I had gotten this set and I don't think I bought it for the bird, I think it was the flowers in the set. I will have to play with that image soon.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
Wanda
