Welcome back to another challenge at The Spot , your place for inspiration and weekly cardmaking challenges. This week we have a wonderful sketch challenge! Sketches are a great way to jump start your creative process and let's face it with everything going on right now, creating is a fantastic way to decompress. What is also so great about a sketch is that it is open to interpretation. I hope you can find the time to join us, we love seeing your wonderful creations.
Stampin' Up's newest Annual Catalogue is now available to order from and the Forever Greenery Suite of products immediately caught my eye. I knew they would be perfect to use with this sketch even though I did take "a little" creative license with it, but hey that is what sketches are for, right?
This card was super easy to put together, with minimal stamping. I started with a background layer of Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the small splatter image using Versamark Ink, then embossed with Gold Stampin' Embossing Powder. I then added to strips of the Forever Greenery DSP and layered them with a stunning piece from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper.
To create multi-coloured greenery I first inked up the leafy image in Soft Sea Foam then lightly sponged on Shaded Spruce, then Pretty Peacock to give the image more depth.
The sentiment was stamped on top of a larger leafy image that was inked in the same manner but just using Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce. The gold embossing really makes the words pop and adds an extra level of elegance to the card.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration, and we would love to see you join in on the challenge!
