For the first time in a while, I was inspired to also work with a sketch (you might know that I find these particularly difficult!). Here's the sketch challenge from Inkspirations:
Now, I also want to enter this card in this week's SUO Challenge, which is to use Stampin' Around wheels in our creations, but am unsure if it qualifies. I don't have any of Stampin' Up!'s oval dies, so I used Nestabilities to cut the oval and scalloped oval on my card. I'll link it up anyway, in the hope that this is okay!
Here's what I made; the layout is a bit outside of my comfort zone, but I really like how it turned out, and hope you do, too!
Stamps: Confetti, Friends 24-7, Take A Sip Stampin' Around wheel
Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi textured, Pink Pirouette
DSP: Melon Mambo Patterns Designer Series Paper
Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad and marker, Jet Black Staz-On inkpad, Whisper White craft stampin' pad, Pink Pirouette stampin' pad and marker, Melon Mambo marker, Wild Wasabi marker
Other: Finial Press embossing folder, Basic Pearls, sponge daubers, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Nestabilities
Happy Saturday, everyone! Isn't it great that it's the weekend?!
Love your take on the sketch Christine, never thought to use a wheel for the main image. The bling finishes it off nicely too.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I've never even noticed that wheel. It's come up great. Love your cards Christine!
