Sketch Challenge Week #26

I am finally back with a UDI sketch challenge. Yeah! Life got really busy so I wasn’t able to participate in the sketch challenges these last couple of months, but I’m hoping I can participate on a regular basis from now on.

Go to the UDI blog to view this week's sketch challenge.

Since I needed to make a birthday card for a nephew, I decided to use this sketch for the card. I used colors from the Bold Brights family as well as the nice cool color of Baja Breeze. You probably can’t tell in the picture, but the gift image stamped in Real Red is mounted on a stampin’ dimensional and it is slightly raised up from the card.

Stamp set: Party Hearty
Card stock: Yoyo Yellow, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Real Red Classic ink
Accessories: ¾” circle punch, Baja Breeze double stitched grosgrain ribbon, Stampin’ dimensional, SNAIL adhesive, paper cutter, scissors, Stamp-a-ma-jig

If you would like to participate in the sketch challenge, post a comment and link to your blog, or upload to your Splitcoast gallery using the keyword DivaSC26. Go to UDI for more information about the challenge and to view the other Divas’ work.

Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!

Sketch Challenge Week 6

Sketch Challenge Week 6

Welcome to another Friday sketch challenge. The sketch we are to use is this one:

As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to make a suspension card. A friend’s birthday is coming up this month, so I decided to create a birthday card-suspension card with the sketch. Sorry the following picture is dark. I was taking it at night and can’t seem to get the right light settings.

Suspension card tutorial by Beate Johns
Stamp set: Party Hearty
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White card stock, Sweet Always DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise classic ink, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun Stampin’ write makers
Accessories: 1 ¾”, 1 3/8”, 1 ¼ ” circle punch, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, white string, 2-way glue pen, Stampin’ dimensional, SNAIL adhesive, sticky strip, scissors, paper cutter.

I added glitter to the pink icing on the cupcake, and glitter to the flames on the candles on the flip side of the suspension image. Glitter doesn’t photograph well, at least not with my camera.
