Do you find yourself counting the days until Stick It Down has a new sketch? Lately I've been on their site first day of the month; their blog really gives my mojo a shot in the arm. When I'm trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking, I drop everything when I can be inspired by a sketch challenge. This inspiration for this layout is this cool sketch - I didn't choose the best photo for such a layout. Probably more appropriate for a portrait photo. But I'm still happy with the final results.
I did turn the sketch upside down for my layout. For a little color, I did add some elements digitally colored with paper patterns from Just Autumn from We Are 3.
Today I am sharing a card using the sketch from The Outlawz Sketch Challenge. For my embellies, I am using Table Scraps - stickers given to me years ago. Papers are from digital collections by We Are 3 - Toasty Warm Neutral Colors and Inspirational.
Hiding in My Craft Room's Challenge #289 is ideal for using up some Table Scraps and creating simple cards. My simple card is hopeful and sure to let someone know they are in your thoughts. The Challenge is embossing - the bottom of my card is Tim Holtz Embossed Idea-ology cardstock - then watercolored on top.
Today's card is one I truly felt creative making - even though I was casing a card from the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers. I love how her card was a simple card to case - but using Inspirational digital papers from We Are 3 and Pretty Petals 1 from Miss Daisy - I just love how they all fell together. And the colors of these papers? Dreamy!
You know how sometimes you see an image or product that catches your eye? In November, We Are 3 offered a free digi pak (Color Me Christmas) that caught my eye - one of those that had to be used in a project NOW! The card I made was picked as the #1 winner in the November Challenge at Miss Daisy Stamps - that win includes an invite to guest design for a month. What fun! Here is the first card I made.
For my card, I used the digi pack I won as my prize - Inspiration. The background paper is called Embedded in my Heart. The swan and the inspirational strip come from Rejoice. Then I embellished with butterflies using Pretty Wings 2 from Miss Daisy Stamps.
