Abstract Beauty Sketch Challenge - Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

 Hi Everyone,

It's a sketch challenge for the hop today and I am using the beautiful Abstract Beauty designer series paper and the Beautiful Shape dies.  I love sketch challenges, such a great way of getting the inspiration flowing and giving your crafty mojo a boost if needed. this layout works in any colour, with any papers and stamp sets. Give it a try.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of 4" x 6" dsp 

Scraps of vellum, magenta madness and gold foil card

Elegant Trim

Colour and Contour stamp set

Memento Black ink

Magenta Madness ink

Gilded Gems

Beautiful Shapes dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Bough Punch

Trimmer

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini glue dots

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish.

Cut the dsp into 3 pieces, 2 pieces 1 1/4" x 3 7/8", 1 piece 2 3/4" x 3 7/8" and adhere to the card front leaving equal borders all around.

Die cut 2nd largest hexagon in vellum and the next size down in magenta card.  Add the vellum one to the card using dimensionals in the centre so they won't be seen when you lay the card piece on the top. Stamp the sentiment in black ink on the magenta card and then add to the vellum layer with dimensionals. Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card using Magenta Madness ink.

Punch out two of the leaf boughs in gold foil and tuck under the vellum layer and adhere with glue.  Add some gilded gems and a tiny bow made from the Elegant Trim.
