A Sketch Challenge Card
This evening I spotted a GREAT sketch on the JustRite Blog, so I stopped what I was doing and made a card! You can find the sketch and the challenge rules here on the JustRite Blog. If you play along, you might even win a prize! Here’s the card I made:
LOVE this sketch!
I used a new paper pad by Kaisercraft – Secret Admirer (shown below).
This pad has a lot of pinks in it, but I went with the greens today.
My long fishtail strips were cut 1.25″ wide and I hand cut my tails.
Sentiment: JustRite Hugs and Kisses, a clear stamp set
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
Spellbinders Dies: Labels One, Scallop Labels One, Circle Nesties (all reduced)
Ribbon: Seam Binding – White. Bow made on the Original Bow Easy.
Thermoweb 3D Foam Squares used for elevation.
My card took a turn when I got to the inside. I started thinking it would be a green Valentine, but then I realized I once again have NO sympathy cards in my stash, so I pulled out my tried and true With Sympathy and used one of the sentiments from that set for the inside. Now I have at least one sympathy card on hand!
I’ll present this card either in an A2 Clear Box or in a Clear Bag/Card Sleeve.
Secret Admirer by Kaisercraft — LOVE these colors and prints.
1.5″ Silky Crushed Ribbon in Teal and Fuchsia are great matches to this pad.
All items available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, as linked.
