Card Sketch Challenge

Good Morning Friends!

I've been into doing challenges lately. It's what has been keeping my brain alive! LOL This challenge, actually, was for 2 places! 1. for Creating The Crafty Life and 2. My Stampin' Up! Team's Facebook Group, Luvly Stampers.

The sketch is from CCL (Creating The Crafty Life). I used it for both groups.

I don't know about you, but I love to follow a sketch sometimes. It takes all the guess work out of designing a card. Some days that's what I need. A plan to follow so I can create something beautiful without putting too much pressure on my stressed out brain.

Here's the sketch:


I love this sketch! It's simple and clean, with lots of layers.


Here's the card I created. I used Hello Honey for my card base. I used the Moonlight DSP stack for the patterned panels. A strip of Basic Grey card stock across the center. The stamp set I used is Blooming With Hope. I just love that stamp set! Sadly, it's retiring. I colored the flowers using my Stampin' Write Markers in Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon and Wild Wasabi.

You may have noticed that I missed one of the layers...oops! My stamping is a little crooked and my panels aren't straight. I'm OK with that. I'm human. I make mistakes. After all, if I wanted a "perfect" card, I'd buy a Hallmark. I much prefer a handmade, from the heart, card! Imperfections and all.

Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me today. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Want To Learn the Bokeh Technique?

Hi Everyone!

I'm so excited today! I learned how to do the Bokeh technique! I have my upline, Wendy Cranford, to thank. She posted a video teaching how to do it. I decided I would follow suit and do my own video showing how to create this technique! I'm uploading the video to YouTube as I type this. Please go check it out. The link to my YouTube channel is on the left side of this blog under "Social Medias".

Here are the 4 cards that I created using this technique. Along with the On Film Framelit Dies from Stampin' Up! to complete the cards. I hope you like my creations!


Happy Stampin'!
