Sketch Challenge Week #16

Welcome to another UDI sketch challenge! We used this fun sketch for this week’s challenge:


In order to get the look I had in mind, I turned the sketch on its side to create the following card:

Stamp set: Flight of the Butterfly, Simply Said (sentiment)
Paper: Barely Banana, Almost Amethyst, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White card stock
Ink: So Saffron, Yoyo Yellow, Lavender Lace, Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery, Green Galore, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue, Pretty in Pink, Pixie Pink Classic Ink, Yoyo Yellow Stampin’ Write Marker
Accessories: 1 ¼” square punch, Crystal Effects, two flat rhinestones, Stampin’ dimensionals, SNAIL adhesive, paper cutter, scissors, Stamp-a-ma-jig

I used to use the Soft Subtles color family a lot but branched out to other color families, so I thought today’s sketch would be a good time revisit Soft Subtles.

You can’t really tell in the picture, but I colored in the middle of the three pink flowers on the Whisper White card stock with a Yoyo Yellow marker. I adhered the butterfly wings with dimensionals to give the butterfly “flight”. I received inspiration for adhering rhinestones to the butterfly’s body from Brenda Weaver in this post.

Sketch Challenge Week 8

This is week 8 of the UDI sketch challenges. I was unable to participate last week but I’m back this week and ready for another challenge! Here is the sketch:

Here is the card I made:

Stamp set: Simply Said, Polka Dot background
Paper: Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette card stock, Bella Rose DSP
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette classic ink
Accessories: Horizontal slot punch, 5/8” Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, 2-way glue pen, SNAIL adhesive, sticky strip, Stamp-a-ma-jig, scissors, paper cutter.

I created this for a friend’s teenage daughter who is going through some health issues. This is a very simple sketch so I added the ribbon to fancy it up a bit. The Chocolate Chip ribbon reflected the flash of my camera so that’s why the color and texture of it looks a bit odd. I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the heart for added interest.
