The Our Craft Lounge forum which can be found here, has a monthly sketch challenge for us to join in with. I'm a little behind the times because they are up to number 3 already, but better late than never, or so they say..
I have taken one of my favourite sets, Growing Gratitude, and stamped the image twice so that I could add some layers, on Smooth White cardstock using Palette Burnt Umber. The image was then cut out with the Spellbinders Polka Dot Frame. I added dimension with the extra cut out pieces - coloured with Copics - and using my marker I rounded the flower pot to give it a curved shape.....the Copics are just so versatile *wink*.
The Designer Paper is from Scribble Scrabble and is part of my new card kits that will be ready very soon! I have loads of new DSP, and buttons! Buttons are everywhere at the minute LOL.
You can just make out in this photo that I have ran my marker lightly around the edge of the white cardstock. IRL it just seems to take the edge off, and doesn't leave the white looking so stark against the DSP.
I broke out the sewing machine once again to do the zig-zag stitch, and pierced around the edge of the main card which is Bazzill Pomegranate.
Thanks for stopping by today and saying "Hi!".
Lovely card Andrea!
Sam.
