Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I’m Sara Levin the artful inker.  After not creating for a week, I needed a little boost.  So, I turned to my favorite challenge blog — Global Design Project.  As I was creating, I was thinking about other favorites — favorites from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  What do I love?  The Sprig Punch because I love little twiggy things that I can tuck in (the punch makes it super easy!).  The Buffalo Check background stamp — plain and simple, it’s awesome!  And, I love stitched dies.  They just add a little something more.  There are several sets in the catalog with stitched elements.  I combined these favorites into my Buffalo Check for GDP153 card.

Buffalo Check for GDP153

 

 

As I mentioned, I started today’s creativity with the GDP153 color challenge.

And, I decided I wanted to play with some of my Holiday Catalog pre-order goodies.

 

 

For this card, I used a Thick Very Vanilla base.

Then, I inked the Buffalo Check background stamp with Flirty Flamingo

and stamped on a Very Vanilla panel.

 

 

Next, I inked the Buffalo Check stamp in Daffodil Delight

and stamped on Daffodil Delight.

Then, I used the heart from the Sweetly Stitched Framelits to cut out my “petals”

Behind the flower, I have sprigs of Soft Suede (cut with the Sprig Punch)

and loops of Copper Metallic Thread.

To assemble the flower, I used my hot glue gun.

 

 

Using the Sweetly Stitched Framelits again, I made a piece of Soft Suede rickrack.

Once I had run the stitched die through the Big Shot, I used my Paper Snips to

cut out the rickrack.

And to finish, I added Gold Faceted Gems.

 

Thanks for stopping in today to check out my Buffalo Check for GDP153 card!
