Sunny Challenge No. 48

July 8, 2012

This week we have a gorgeous sketch from Vicky and she has added that we need to use the colours Chocolate Chip and Old Olive.

I attached a piece of Chocolate Chip designer paper and also a piece of Old Olive designer paper to Very Vanilla card stock.  The designer paper is from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stacks – Neutrals and Brights.  I wrapped this piece with some of the pretty Chocolate Chip 1/2″ Scallop Dots Ribbon and then attached it to scored and folded Chocolate Chip card stock.  I stamped two of the leaves from the French Foliage stamp set onto Very Vanilla card stock using Old Olive ink.  I stamped the same leaves onto Post-It-Notes and cut them out – using them to cover the images on the Very Vanilla card stock.  I stamped the text image from the French Foliage stamp set over the top of the masked leaves using Chocolate Chip ink.  I removed the mask and using the dotted image, randomly stamped over the whole piece using Old Olive ink.  I sponged the edges of the stamped panel using Chocolate Chip ink, attached it to Chocolate Chip card stock and then to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped the greeting from the Petite Pairs stamp set onto Very Vanilla card stock using Old Olive ink and punched it using the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch.  I attached the greeting to a Chocolate Chip 1-3/8″ Circle and then to the card front.  I used a dimensional under the lower part of the image and snail on the top part of the image so that it would sit slightly over the larger stamped panel.

This is a really neat sketch and one that I will be using again.  I store my sketches away in a folder and when I am looking for inspiration, get it out and flip through them until I find something that suits my needs.

Ok so now it is time to visit Gwen, and Vicky for some more inspiration.  You can also visit our blog and see what our weekly guest designers have in the way of more inspiration.  Once you have created your card, scrap page or 3d item, pop over to Sunny Challenges and Creations and add it to Mr. Linky.  As always I can’t wait to see what you create this week.

Bye for now, Kris.

    Fantastic card Kris. The more I see of this set the more I am tempted. The colour combo is strongly masculine but the card can be either or. Love it.
