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-starting your creative process and let's face it with everything going on in the world right now, stamping and getting creative is a great way to spread some happiness.
I love a good sketch and this one made it super easy to bring together a quick card that can be sent on its way with a friendly "Hello". The Forever Fern Bundle and Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper are simply stunning and I knew using them for my card would make quick work of the sketch.
The Forever Greenery DSP is just so beautiful I barely had to do any stamping on this card! I started with a Thick Whisper White card base, then cut a layer and embossed it with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. The DSP was then cut on an angle and attached to the embossed layer, I love how the woodgrain texture pops out from behind the patterned paper.
The Forever Fern Stamp Set is a DisInktive stamp set, which means that the images give a photo-realistic impression. The details on these types of stamps are just incredible and this amazing technology is unique to Stampin' Up! I first inked up the leafy image in Old Olive Classic Ink, then using a sponge dauber I applied some Shaded Spruce Classic Ink. Once the stamp was inked I stamped it on to Whisper White Cardstock, then using a Blender Pen I lightly blended the ink to create a soft watercolour effect and die cut the image. The sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. A little Linen Thread double bow and a few Epoxy Droplets finished it off.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration, and we would love to see you join in on the challenge!
