Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026

Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:

The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!

I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.
