craftykarendesigns: Perfectly Pencilled Using a Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

For this month's showcase Blog Hop, I have been playing with some sketch challenges. I love these for giving me inspiration when there is no particular theme for the card that I want to make. I've used one of my favourite colours - Gorgeous Grape and teamed it with Fresh Freesia and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Materials

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

1 piece of gorgeous grape card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 2 pieces 2 1/8" square

1 piece of basic white 1 3/4" x 5 5/8", 2 pieces 2 1/4" square

2 pieces of Perfectly Pencilled dsp 2" square, 1/2" x 5 7/8" strip for the inside

Gorgeous Grape ink

Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends

Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends

Glossy Dots

Happiness Abounds stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

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

Stamp a sentiment on the inside and add the 1/2" strip of dsp. Then stamp a sentiment at the bottom of the strip of white for the front.

Adhere the gorgeous grape layer and then add the white strip as shown in the photo.

Colour in the flowers and leaves on the dsp and then adhere to the grape layer and then to the white and add dimensionals to the back. Position the squares as shown in the photo.

Add some glossy dots and job done, a quick and easy card.
