It's a Sketch Challenge Day

 Hey Everybody,

Today's challenge is a sketch challenge. You can check it out here.

Here is my card.


I turned the sketch. I stamped my little mouse, die cut it with the deckled circles die and colored it with Copic Markers.  The stamp is a House Mouse stamp called Fall Float. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Amber Autumn.

I stamped the sentiment in poppy parade and added it to the card with dimensionals. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Because this card used two different papers that were cut diagonally, I put the other two pieces together to make another card.  I used the leaves and acorn stamp from the Amber Autumn set. I knew if I didn't do that, I'd have scraps I had to store and I didn't want to do that.

Keywords: SC1133
Stamps: House Mouse- Fall Float, Amber Autumn
Paper: white, autumn toile dsp
Ink: memento tuxedo black, poppy parade
Accessories: Copic Markers, deckled circle dies, dimensionals
Techniques: die cutting, coloring

Here is what the stamp set, Amber Autumn looks like.


This was an easy sketch to use. I knew I wanted to make a fall card, so I chose retired fall paper to use it up. Then I chose something that was in my fall stamps that was approximately the same size circle. I really enjoy using House Mouse stamps and know that they will bring a smile to someone at the hospital even if it's delivered with a dinner tray! LOL

This is a great way to use designer series paper. I'm going to have to remember this sketch. For this sketch I could have used a different shape and not a circle. That's the beauty of these things. You can change things as long as you keep the general sketch.


Well, thanks for stopping by today.
Blessings,
Sue

Stamping With Friends

  Today I had two friends come by to make cards. What's so much fun is that we each design a card and the other two people make that car...
