Hi everyone! We have a brand new challenge starting right now over at Less Is More! We are looking for entries that use our Sketch as inspiration.
Card #1
I used some masking tape to create my area to stamp in. I used circles to create a 'boy' themed background in green, brown, and orange. My little dinosaur (new set from Lawn Fawn) is coloured with a sharpie and a white gel pen for effect. For this card I flipped the sketch.
Card #2
Again, I created a mask and used distress ink to create my lighthouse beams. I coloured the lighthouse and die cut it so I could pop it up with foam tape. Again, I flipped the sketch for this card. The sentiment was also masked so I could stamp it within the beams of light.
Card #3
This time I went as close to the sketch as possible. I used a ruler and pencil to create the lines then I cut through them with a craft knife. I assembled some patterned paper behind the 'cutouts' and like a jigsaw, put it all back together again. I used a combo of a die cut and stamped sentiment.
There is heaps more inspiration from our Design Team over at the challenge blog including our wonderful Guest Designer - Toni (Frankie Loves Craft).

Amazing cards Kylie! Love the creative use of the sketch in your second card -super design. Love the bright colors of that one too! Great idea to use designer paper in your third card, it's always so hard to find a CAS way to use patterned paper and this example is perfect! Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow. At first sight I found this sketch quite tricky. But I see you haven’t had any issues using it, with tree awesome designs. The lighthouse card is maybe my preferred one, you’ve been so creative to come up with this design idea. But the first one is such a cute one for a little boy too.
ReplyDeleteWow ! You’ve been really inspired with this sketch, Kylie. What an amazing trio. I love your first card with those circles as a background for this cute dinosaur. Gorgeous birthday card too with the lovely pattern paper. But you stole my heart with your clever second card ! The lighthouse is such a wonderful idea for this sketch and I love the beautiful colours. Just stunning ! Have a fabulous Sunday. xx

Wow! That is one awesome collection of cards Kylie. I loved your cute dinosaur as soon as I saw it with that spotty background. Your precision with the knife on the third card is superb and the paper is gorgeous. But....I'm clapping my hands at your sensational lighthouse. What a BRILLIANT way to use the sketch. Fantastic! xx
ReplyDeleteWow! YOur cards are so inspiring! I really thought your first card used DP! How cool that you craeted the pattern yourself! So very cute using the sketch for the lighthouse light! The last card is making me think about some of my bg stamps! Can't wait to try this sketch again!
