Happy Tuesday, peeps! It's time for a sketch challenge at Stamp Ink Paper! This one was perfect for me to try out some new goodies, too!
I had been resisting purchasing SU's Blends, but I finally broke down and got them all! I was intrigued by the image on the little pocket featured on the bottom right corner on page 41 of the Occasions catalog...it used one of the images of Flying Home (same page), masked and stamped twice, then colored in with Blends. But the key was using a light colored stamp in which to stamp it so it looked very realistic. So again, I was just "practicing" on a piece of scrap paper and I liked it so much that I used it on today's card:
I only used the top half of the stamp set, inking it up in Sahara Sand ink and coloring it with light and dark Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Blends. I diecut it with the Stitched Shapes die, and covered the bottom portion with another die cut, then created a banner with Peekaboo Peach and three layers of the "celebrate" from the Celebrate You thinlets, available through SAB. I put a layer of Adhesive Sheet under each one, which made it very easy to adhere them together! Here's a close-up:
The DSP is from Delightful Daisy, and I love how the leaves mimic the leaves in the stamped image! A couple of pearls filled in the white space at the bottom of the circle nicely!
This is really a terrific sketch, and I hope you'll play along with us this week! The DT has some amazing samples as well! Check them out at Stamp Ink Paper!

ReplyDeleteOh, yes, there is no hiding the apprehension! There’s no hiding the beauty of your card either.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would love the Blends! And this is gorgeous coloring. I love how you used just the top portion of the stamp and adding the word die was a great touch! Cassidy will love her lessons and soon will be playing you tunes! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this card. These pretty Spring colours are just what I need to see right now.
ReplyDeleteI can see it with a beautiful Thank You die cut out across there. I'm doing a couple of Thank You card orders right now, so you can tell where my mind it at;) I should jump in on this challenge (although I don't know if I can without having a blog).
Way to go Cassidy - enjoy your lessons.
Wow this is so.fresh and clean.....love it!
