Chocolate weekend sketch
Posted: March 3, 2008 Filed under: One of a Kind, Purses 2 Comments
I made this card to go in the chocolate purse I posted yesterday along with a couple of tags. My inspiration for the layout was Beate’s weekend sketch. 
I am quite taken with the whole purse designing idea and have another one to photograph tomorrow and share with you. Someone made the suggestion that I should put chocolates in my chocolate purse, which is probably a much better idea than tags!
Supplies:
Stamps: One of a Kind
Cardstock: Berry Bliss designer paper, Chocolate Chip, Whisper white, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Chocolate Chip, versamark
Also: Stampin’ dimensionals, scallop scissors, Boho blossoms punch, white e.p., chocolate grosgrain ribbon
Chocolate Purse

This is my first attempt at a purse. I admit I have seen them in magazines and on blogs but never saw a reason to make one. Now I have made one, I think I’ll be making more. I plan to create some matching cards or tags to put in this one, which I will post when they are completed. Sharon at No Time to Stamp was the catalyst for this one, her Stamp Simply Challenge #24 is to make something purse related.
I could tell you all the measurements and scoring lines but as I was making this one up as I went along, I think I will do another and take pictures as I go. I folded a rectangular piece of designer paper into a concertina fold to make the sides. The white lace is made with a pair of double scallop scissors.

I thought this card would come together easily as I was using Tuesday’s colour challenge CC155 from Splitcoast and Wednesday’s sketch challenge SC165. I did not need to choose colours or layout; that was done for me. Unfortunately it still took a while as I played with mattes and sizes and patterns. I do like these colours together, it is just a slight variation on the two colour designs I have been doing lately. The background stamp on the top right rectangle is stamped in black and the petals coloured with a not-so-healthy, white gel pen. You get the idea, but it would probably pop more if the white petals were brighter.
Supplies:
Stamps: Boho Backgrounds, One of a Kind
Inks: Black
Cardstock: Whisper White, Black, River Rock
Also: Circle punches, white gel pen
Flowers for you

I had this design in my head before the stamps arrived so it was fun to see if it would work once I received them. Stamping the Boho background stamp across the rectangular piece diagonally gave me a path of flowers on which to lay the larger ones from the One of a Kind set. I stamped a few flowers in Ruby red on white card and embossed some in white e.p. on Ruby cardstock. I punched some out with the coordinating punch and others I cut by hand before arranging and sticking them down. White eyelets are added to the centres of three.
