Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by a sketch to create a card. I have used embossing folders as the focus of my design today.

I created the Embossed Sketch card using the following supplies:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅝” by 3⅞
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

Berry Burst – 4½” by ¾”

I began by embossing the 3 strips of coloured card – The Berry Burst strip was embossed with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder, The Pool Party strip with the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder and the Fresh Freesia strip with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder, at an angle.

I added the larger layer of Secret Sea to the back of the panel and wrapped the whole panel with Black Baker’s Twine. The panel was then adhered to the Pool Party card front.

The sentiment, from the Balloon Festoon stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card with Secret Sea ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Greenery Lane stamp set used with the Reason To Celebrate and Fabulous Saying stamp sets to make 4 cards using the One Sheet Wonder technique – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Using Basic Beige ink, I stamped the large leafy spray along both pencil lines, changing the angle and direction with each stamping.

I then randomly added the smaller leafy sprig with Pretty Peacock ink and filled in the colour with Lost Lagoon. The smaller open leafy sprig was then stamped all over with Night of Navy ink.

The tiny flowers were then added with Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss ink.

I cut the panel down to give me 4 pieces measuring 5¼” by 3½” and glued these to the 4 layers. I added Bubble Bath Ribbon around 3 of the panels before adding them to the card bases with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Dimensionals.

I chose sentiments from the Greenery Lane, Reason To Celebrate and Fabulous Sayings stamp set and stamped them directly onto the panel or onto scrap Basic White card which I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

A trio of Rainbow Dots finished each of the cards.
