I am so excited to be able to host today’s sketch challenge for SCS Dare to Get Dirty celebration! I love sketch challenges! They are one of my favorite kind of challenges and one of the very first I started doing! So many different ideas and variations and I love to see how they all turn out.
Today I’m asking you to play along with me! This sketch is a variation on one of my very card designs that I created last December. I’ve been wanting to give the sketch another whirl but always seem to forget! This seemed like the perfect opportunity to give myself a kick in the butt and just do it! I hope you’ll join me in the Dare to Get Dirty Friday Forum and play along! To check out all the fabulous samples and submissions of this sketch design….visit HERE! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you come up with! I hope you enjoy it!
Jolies Friend
For this card design, I wanted to use my new Infuse 6×6 patterned paper by Basic Grey! Love it! I decided it would look really great with my Jolies Fleurs stamps by Lizzie Anne Designs. I stamped my stylized flower onto the patterned paper and carefully watercolored it.
Now don’t laugh! I forget half of what I was going to say about this design! LOL I made it weeks ago so that the sample makers could create their’s as well! Sooooo…basically, what you see is what you get. A “scrapbook style” design of layered patterned paper with stamped images as the feature highlights. 🙂
All the edges were sponged with Close to Cocoa ink and I added lots of stitched elements to add interest. I think basically this card is all about my favorites. Favorite papers, techniques, favorite Cherry Blossom Prima … you get hte picture. 🙂 The little piece of Hodgepodge Hardware at the top has a little piece of acetate in it stamped with my friend. A May Arts ribbon tied to the top of the hardware, finishes it off.
And soooooo….enough about this design! Time to stop reading, get off the computer and start stamping! Have fun! And make sure you get lots of sleep! There are DOUBLE the amount of challenges tomorrow! 😉
