Happy Sunday! As you read this I am likely in the air on my way back from Salt Lake City. I always find the first few days after convention a bit chaotic as I try to organize all of the ideas swimming around in my head after the inspiration overload of convention. Here is a new sketch from
Sunday Stamps to keep you busy while I get a handle on things around here:
...and here is my take on it for the Design Team:
As you can see, I opted for square elements rather than circles. I always like to try a slightly different take on the sketch so that you can see the possibilities and how easy it is to use a sketch as a jumping off point for creativity. I started by punching four
1" squares from
Whisper White card stock and temporarily adhering them to a
Whisper White card front. Then I stamped the floral image from the
Awesomely Artistic stamp set using
black Staz On ink. I removed the 1" squares and adhered them to 1-1/4" squares of
Blackberry Bliss card stock and then permanently adhered them to the card front. I then coloured the image using
Rich Razzleberry and
Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write markers.
I added a few little tiny
pearls by way of embellishment and stamped the sentiment from the
One Big Meaning set in
Memento Tuxedo black ink. I layered the card front on a mat of
Mossy Meadow card stock and then adhered it to a
Blackberry Bliss card base.
On the inside I simply stamped the floral image a couple of times using
Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I hope this take on the sketch inspires you to give it a go. There are SO many possibilities! Be sure to post your project over at
Sunday Stamps so we can admire your artistic awesomeness!!
Hope you had a wonderful time at Convention Leena and a great trip home. I know what you mean about coming back from SLC. The last time I went I just wanted to lock myself away for a few days so I could put everything in perspective.
ReplyDeleteLove that you were able to see beyond circles and use these squares to repeat your pattern and spotlight the leaves and flowers. This is a really lovely card thanks for sharing.
