Summer Card Camp 2: Card #1

I was so excited to win a spot at the Summer Card Camp 2 class! This is my first time participating in an Online Card Class and I'm really enjoying it so far.

It's a three week class. For Week 1, they've posted a colour combo and three sketches we can use.

For my card, I used the second sketch, along with the colour combo, which I interpreted as Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy & white.

Here's my card:

I incorporated several of the techniques shared into my card:

1.  I impressed my vellum background using my PTI Simple Stripes impression plate.
2.  I did a some multi-ink stamping on one of my tags using my PTI Big Ticket Basics stamp set.
3.  I made a dimensional diecut with my PTI Seeing Stars die (I diecut several stars from cardstock and adhered them together, adding a final layer diecut from some Echo Park patterned paper.)

Here's a close-up of the star, where you can see some of the dimension:

Jonah's invited to a birthday party on Sunday and the birthday boy is turning nine.

I decided to embellish an envelope for the card, for this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink, using the same supplies.

Thanks for looking!
