Sketch Challenge

January 3, 2011

My card today is for the sketch challenge this week on Stamping 411.  I also used the colours from the Colour Inspiration on Stamping 411

I have a base card of Rose Red with an added layer of So Saffron which has been stamped with the  En Francais Background  using So Saffron ink.  I also sponged the edges using the same ink.  I ran a strip of Very Vanilla card through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder which I had brayered  with So Saffron ink so that I would get a lovely soft impression.  This was layered onto a piece of Wild Wasabi card which has one edge punched with the Eyelet Edge Punch.  The words “very” and ‘sorry” from the Three Little Words stampset were inked using my Wild Wasabi Stampin’ Write Marker and stamped onto Very Vanilla card.  I punched them out with the Medium Jewellery Tag Punch, pierced a hole through the top, threaded through some linen thread and attached it to the back of the Wild Wasabi card.  I used Mini Glue Dots to position each of the tags.  I ran another piece of Very Vanilla card through the Big Shot using the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder which I had brayered with So Saffron ink and layered it onto a piece of Rose Red card.  This piece is added to the card using dimensionals.  I added a Rose Red butterfly cut with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

Not really sure whether I like this one or not.  What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
