Two Sketch Challenge Cards

 Hey Everybody,

Our challenge was to make a card using the very first sketch challenge from Splitcoaststampers.

Here is a picture of the sketch. They provide a picture of the sketch then a card done using that sketch.

You can see how long ago this was, we were using eyelets in cards. I checked to see when the sketch challenge posts began. I found 2005.

Here's my card.

I put an adhesive sheet on poppy parade cardstock. Then I die cut the cardstock with the letters. I added white cardstock behind each letter and layered the red onto the green tag layer. I cut the rectangles into tags then punched a hole in the end of each. I added white ribbon into each tag. I dry embossed the stripes onto the misty moonlight card base. I dry embossed the tags with the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder because they looked too plain to me. I used dimensionals to add the tags to the card base. Lastly, I added the Christmas Epoxy Shapes to the card. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

We had another challenge where we could pick our own sketch then make a card. I chose sketch challenge 126. We needed a sketch with different shapes so I chose this one with a square and two rectangles.

 I stamped the image from Unity Stamps called, Holiday Hide & Peek with Memento tuxedo black ink.   Then I colored it with Copic Markers. I added old olive cardstock behind it. I used the colors in the designer paper for his scarf and hat. I cut real red and secret sea cardstock out then dry embossed with the Stampin' Up! plaid embossing folder. I added the cardstock onto the designer series paper then added the image panel and sentiment with dimensionals. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.
