Those of you who follow me will know that I regularly show you projects that are challenges. Sometimes it's colours, sometimes a particular product and sometimes it's a sketch. I do lots of challenges with two of my crafty friends - Taffycrafting (Donna Lester) and Vickieloudesigns (Victoria Littlewood) and we have a regular weekly one called Share it on a Sunday. Well, now Donna has challenged us to do some sketch challenges over the next few weeks to keep our creative mojo going and I'm going to use them as a chance to show you new products as well as some old favourites that I haven't used for a while. So, here goes with my Challenge 16 of #33, I hope that you like it.
(Sketch from cardztv.blogspot.com)Materials
1 piece of soft suede card stock 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
1 piece of whisper white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" and a scrap for the label
1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 4"
Stitched Nested label Dies
Die Cutting Machine
Tasteful Touches stamp set
Crumb cake ink
Early espresso ink
Enamel dots/pearls
Multipurpose adhesive
Trimmer
Instructions
Score the soft suede card on the long side at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Add the largest dsp mat to the card front leaving a small border all around the edge.
Measure 32 from the bottom of the second piece of dsp and make a mark and then make a diagonal cut from the top of the other side down to the mark, making one side of the dsp 3" and the other one 4" so the top of it is diagonal (see picture).
The sketch shows an oval label but I don't have any so I have used the Stitched Nested label dies instead which measures approx 1 1/2" x 3 1/4" and cut out the label from the scrap of whisper white.
With the black ink stamp the sentiment in the centre of the label and then using the crumb cake ink, stamp the feathers top and bottom.
Stamp a feather on the inside whisper white layer and then adhere in place.
Add enamel dots as shown on the sketch, I don't have any so have used pearls and used a blend to colour them.
Why don't you give the sketch a try, you can use whatever you want and it will be a unique card.
