The Spot Creative Challenge #121 It's a sketch challenge

Hey Y'all!

This week the team over at The Spot has a sketch challenge for you. And I think you are going to like this one!

Today's sketch is bold. It features a diagonal line to draw you across the card. What I love about this sketch is that you can change the orientation of the fold and still get a bold and stunning card. Here is my card....

I made a baby girl card with this design. But the themes are endless! Let's dive into what I did with this card.

Details for today's card

Let's start with the big picture. I made a top folding card base from Blushing Bride cardstock. Next I have 2 layers of Whisper White cardstock (we will get into this in a second). Then there is a vellum die cut heart with the bunny image and greeting. I colored some rhinestone gems with Flirty Flamingo and there is my card. Now let's take a closer look!

Above I mentioned that I used 2 layers of Whisper White cardstock to make the front of the card. The first layer is 4"x 5 1/4". The second was cut at 4"x 4 1/4". This is the layer that I cut the diagonal on. This is also the layer  that I ran through the embossing machine using the swiss dot looking folder from the Wrapped in Textures Embossing Folders from the new August to December Mini Catalog. 

Here is where this card gets it's wow. The diagonal. Once I had cut the 4"x 4 1/4" piece so that it had a diagonal cut, I used a pencil to trace my cuts on to the larger Whisper White Piece. Then I used 1/4" pieces of just about every pink that Stampin' Up! has. When I was making this card I realized that I did not have the 6x6" Designer Series Paper Assortment in the 2019-2021 In Colors so there is no Rococo Rose in this card. I decided to use the word piece from these paper packs. My strips are 1/4" x 1 1/2". Using my pencil line I glued down the strips in the same order, over and over, until the diagonal was covered. I embossed the two halves of the top piece of Whisper White card stock and then used Stampin' Dimentionals to lift this layer. The sweet bunnies are from the Wildly Happy stamp set. To add a little something' to the greeting, I stamped a heart from Birds & Branches stamp set. Honestly any small heart would work. That just happened to be the one I had handy. I layered the bunnies and sentiment onto a vellum heart. This works to anchor the image but doesn't take away from the card. And finally I added the rhinestone gems that I had colored with the Flirty Flamingo Blends.
