Card Challenge Time: Freshly Made Sketches

Time for my challenge card.  I have to say these are rough for me to do.  I am a free spirit when I craft and have a hard time conforming.  I must have looked at a dozen sites before one spoke to me.  I  always seems to have an idea and then go looking for the challenge that matches it.  I need to find a simpler way I am thinking.  Oh well, the card is cute and matches the challenge perfectly.

The Sketch

This card is straight forward.  I used the papers from Club Scrap March Kit, Delft.  Fussy cut the papers for the "ribbons" and a printed paper for the the mat.  All of this was arranged on a 5X7 white card base.  

This is the paper that I was trying to find a use for.  I used the stencil on white 120 card stock, and brushed over a layer of Nuvo Mousse.  This is a new product for me and well, I'm not sure about it.  I am a great fan of Inca Gold and this is similar, fluffier, but harder to control.  I need to play some more.

Nuvo Mousse

The rest of the card is straight forward: Stamped and copic colored the images, then fussy cut.  Added a sentiment and a few sequins.  Finished!  Not bad.  

That is it for me!!  Stop over to Freshly Made Sketches and see all the other cards made from this Sketch.  Be sure and visit  Club Scrap and check out the latest Kit:  Delft, March 2017.

Until next time, 

Happy Crafting,

Challenge Time!! Club Scrap and Freshly Made Sketches.

Well I have not been doing challenges the last few months.  Seems like life and all the fuss that goes with it, kept me from meeting the deadlines. Oh well.  This month, I am armed and ready to meet the challenge.  I will be using this months Kit from CLUB SCRAP,  Office Space.

  Here is my entry for sketch #244.

This is a simple and easy card.  The hard part was figuring out how to get it to all fit on the A2card Base.

Let me show you how I created this.

I started by stamping in Brown Ink and Heat embossing in Clear to give it a shine.  Then I added the word, "memorandum" in Black Archival.

Stamped and cut out a mask to cover my stamped image.

Placed my stencil over the image and taped down.  Using Distress Ink and an Ink Blending tool, softly added Tattered Rose to the stencil.  Then I went back with Spiced Marigold to darken a few of the words.  

Stencil removed.  Next step is to remove the mask and die cut it into an Oval shape.

From the Card stock in the kit, I cut a mat and then using the coral cardstock created an A2 card base.  

Last, I stamped the sentiment in the same Brown Ink and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder, die, cut and mounted it onto my card with 3D Foam Squares.  Done!!  Clean and Simple.

I am thinking this month I am going to focus on stencils!!

Until next time,

Happy Crafing,
