Welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop.
This Month’s Theme is a Sketch Challenge.
I love using a sketch to design a card as it does not matter what stamp set, designer series papers or colours you use. They are also a great way to get inspiration. So here is how I went about making a card using a card sketch.
This month I have been using the 2022-2024 In Colors in my projects. Basically as I have not really used them much before and sometimes it is challenging to use colours in a different combination or just to get your mojo back.
How I made my card using a card sketch
First I decided to use one of the blues from the 2022-2024 In Colors. I started by cutting a portrait card base using Tahitian Tide card stock. Next I cut a mat layer using Basic White card stock. I then die cut out a circle using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then using the wave image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set I stamped the image along the bottom of the Basic White mat layer using Tahitian Tide ink. I then stuck the mat layer onto the card base.
Next I die cut a circle using the Beautiful Shapes die and Basic White card stock. I then stamped the sentiment onto it using Tahitian Tide ink before sticking it on to the middle of the die cut out circle so that there was a very small coloured border showing.
How I made the sentiment for my card using a card template
Next I die cut two circles using Tahitian Tide card stock and the Stylish Shapes dies. I then stamped the bird image onto Basic White card stock using Basic Gray before die cutting it out using the small circle die from Stylish Shapes.
Next I stuck the circles onto the card as per the card sketch.
Finally I added some of the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decretive Dots underneath the sentiment.
I was pleased with how the card turned out so I decided to make another two. One using Orchid Oasis card stock and ink and the other using Starry Sky card and ink. Which one is your favourite?
