JAI 652 sketch challenge - bottled happiness z fold card

Hello & welcome! It's time to share my latest Just Add Ink challenge card. This week is a sketch challenge, and I've stretched the sketch to make it into a portrait oriented z fold card.

I gave my Bottled Happiness stamp set its first inking to create a pretty, floral just because card. Here's how it turned out.

Bottled Happiness is a clever little set that includes separate stamps that together form a single image. Take a look below at it. The two floral spray images make it easier to stamp multi-coloured images. The set also includes two-three step layering stamps like the tall bottle to create detail with the same ink pad. The coordinating Vintage Bottle punch cuts out the tall bottle image, and there's even some bottle shaped shaker domes available to make fun 2 d projects. I kept it simpler today though. 

But back to the card, I've stamped two floral images in my Stamparatus using Highland Heather ink, and the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist ink, both applied with a Blending Brush. I then added some detail and shading with Stampin' Blends markers (Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green), and cut one image out with the largest Stylish Shapes circle die and loosely fussy cut the other.

I stamped the bottles in Soft Sea Foam and new colour, Bubble Bath, punched the sea foam one and fussy cut the others. Love how the two stamp layers create a 3d look.

Some Glittered Organdy ribbon works as the banner element in the sketch, ad some Iridescent Pearls and Brushed Brass butterflies add some pretty sparkle. I've used some clear Wink of Stella om the flowers too. All of these pretties are thankfully still available to purchase in store.

These elements make up the front of the card with the retired Highland Heather striped paper as you can see in this pic.

 

And here's how it looks when folded flat. The card base is white but you can't see much of it as I've covered most of it with the striped papers (Subtles collection pack - now retired). I feel so extravagant using all that paper but it's got to used, right? :)

 

So there you go. That's my stretched sketch challenge card. I hope you liked it, or it's given you some ideas to try yourself. Leave a comment if you have any questions or just want to say hi.

You'll find all the supplies I used to make my card (minus the retired ones) are listed here in my Stampin' Up! store so shop for what you need. I have some more projects to share with you but I'll say bye for now.

Happy stamping and creating!
