Freshly Made Sketches #579

Hey Everyone

I almost had my card ready for this weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, but I ran out of time to photograph it. This weeks sketch has been designed by the incredibly talented Jen Timko. Make sure you head over to her blog and check out her gorgeous creations.

The card I created features flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. The flowers have been coloured with a combination of all of my yellow blends with a touch of the Light Pumpkin Pie Blend. The leaves were coloured with my Granny Apple Green Blends.

The diecuts I’ve used in the background were leftovers from other projects. These diecuts are from the Chic Dies and Forever Flourishing Dies. Love it when I can use up bits of stuff from my desk!

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Freshly Made Sketches #548

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday again, so that means there’s a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch designer this week is fabulously talented Jacquie Southas. Head over to her blog and see her gorgeous creations.

I really love her simple design. The possibilities are endless with this layout. I’d added layers and details to the strip down the edge of my card – coz that’s just how i role really!

The products I’ve used on my card are from the Season of Chic Bundle. This bundle consists of the Season of Chic Stamp Set and Chic Dies. The die cut I’ve added to the background is one of my favourites atm. The texture is a fab addition to my layering.

The flowers have been stamped in Black Stazon Ink and have been coloured with the Pool Party Blends. The leaves were quickly coloured with the Crumb Cake Blends. All images have been fussy cut, rather than die cut, as I like a really, really fine edge around my images.

All images have been raised with Dimensionals and the sentiment double-raised with Dimensionals.

To add a little more interest to the card, I added some ribbon and bunched it to create texture around the flowers and adhered it with Glue Dots.

Here’s my card:

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards that will no doubt inspire you. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #350

Hey Everyone

When you have a couple of spare hours on a Sunday afternoon, you craft! I created this card for the latest challenge at Global Design Project. This week they have a sketch challenge for us to create our cards:

One of the bundles I’ve been hanging to get is the Season of Chic Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.

The stamp set and dies in this bundle have a combination of images that work for any occasion! This would have to be one of the most versatile bundles as it covers all of your crafting needs.

I’ve chosen a leaf stamp and leaves dies for my card and combined it with the lattice type die to make a card for a friend.

I started this card by taking a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink and added some shading to the Basic White Cardstock. I then took the ink splatters stamp and Early Espresso Ink and randomly stamped over the shading. I then adhered the lattice type die cut with some Tombow Adhesive.

The leaves have been inked up with Crumb Cake Ink. Before stamping on to cardstock, I took a dauber and Early Espresso Ink and added some ink to the stamp. I then stamped it on to Basic White Cardstock and repeated the process. These leaves were then die cut out. I found some off-cut pieces of Early Espresso Cardstock and cut two leaves with the same die. After scrunching them in my hand, I added them to my card. The inked leaves were then added with Dimensionals.

The sentiment I chose for my card is also from the Season of Chic Stamp Set. This sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso Ink. I also added a torn strip of Pool Party Cardstock to peak out from under the sentiment.

To finish off my card I added a bow made with the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and three Champagne Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by.
