Sketch #118 for TSOT

My Tuesday share today is for the Design Team at Try Stampin' on Tuesday

 

We have sketch #118 for your inspiration (see below)

At first I thought it was a little intimating, but I finally came up with my card

 

 

I started with white A2 cardstock and added a pink layer and all my stripes are from my scraps

Sentiment and branch / owl image from Crafts Meow "Happy Owlentines"

I colored the images with my Copic markers in the following colors:

E50, E53, YG23, G14, R27

I added some doodle lines to the leaves and paper pieced with mounting tape for added dimension

Finished with googly eyes

Sending Owl My Love

Week four of July brings our weekly Challenge at Made Especially for You.

Create a card using a specific technique.

We are making Easel Cards.

I absolutely love, love, love to design easel cards. 

My easel card starts with a 4" x 8" base.  Beginning at the left side, lengthwise, score at 2" and 4"

Crease 2" score line up like a mountain.  Crease the 4" score line down like a valley.

Cut another piece cardstock 4".  This will be the front of the card.

Decorate the front as desired and glue this piece to the first 2" section from left.

Decorate the inside, which is the 4" section on the right of the 4" x 8" cardstock.

Please note:  when you decorate the inside, you will need to use mounting tape.

This will help raise the paper up just enough to create the stop for the easel.

The Owl image was a freebie from Melonheadz.

Owl sentiment from The Crafts Meow

Love sentiment from Close to My Heart.

Our sponsor this week is Paper Piecings by Nikki which you can find HERE.

One randomly chosen winner will receive a $15.00 Gift Certificate to their store.

You can check out all the Design Team inspiration HERE.

Make sure to play along with us this week.  

We would love to see your Easel Card creations!

The Craft's Meow April Sketch Challenge

My share today is a card I made for The Crafts Meow April Sketch challenge posted below.  I just recently purchased some stamps from them, but haven't had a chance to use them yet.  I choose their "Just for You" set to work with for this challenge.

The base is a 3-1/2" x 8" teal colored card from my stash of Close to My Heart papers.  I layered two coordinating pattern paper from my stack Recollections - Bold Basic, cut at 3" x 7-1/2" for the bottom layer and 2-1/2" x 7" for the top layer.  I stamped my image 3 times and sentiment with Close to My Heart, Gypsy ink on to cream cardstock.  Punch the images out with a 1-1/2" circle punch and punch 3 teal circles with a 1-3/4" circle punch.


I also cut a 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" pattern paper and a 4" scallop border in cream cardstock cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge, page 48, <sclops-s> using the oblong feature, trimmed to 3-1/2".  Cut a 1/2" x  3-1/2" cream cardstock for the sentiment banner, punch the ends with a square punch to create the banner.  Layer all paper pieces as shown in the photo.  My finishing touches are tiny adhesive pearls to the scallop border, the banner and medium size to the centers of the images.  And last of all, a organza lavender ribbon bow at the top.

Thank you for stopping by today, enjoy my card, stop by The Crafts Meow to check out the sketch and play along.  Hope your day is filled with joy.
