Sketches by Tamara: Recipe 48

Here’s my card for this week’s recipe challenge at Sketches {by Tamara}. This week’s required ingredients were 3 R’s—red, ric rac, and round. I incorporated all three elements on this round card.

I used one of the new Just Rite products I got from i {heart} papers as the focal image on my card. The small circle element comes from the new Tiny Borders and Centers Set. The stamper measures 1 3/16”, smaller than the others previously released by Just Rite. It is so cute! I stamped the border in Chocolate Chip ink, then stamped the center in Riding Hood Red ink. I highlighted the hearts with some clear glitter from a glitter pen. I used a few different sized circle punches to get the different colors for the layers in the circle.

I layered the stamped image on a panel of paper from the Penny Lane line from My Mind’s Eye. It’s not a true red, but it’s still red to me! I added a strip of soft white velvet ric rac across the patterned paper panel, too.

The patterned paper is layered on a scalloped circle card base made with a pair of Nestabilities scalloped circle dies. I embellished the scallops a bit by piercing a hole in each one and highlighting each hole with a white ink pen. This is my all-time favorite white pen—works great!
