I created this card using Beate’s weekend sketch challenge layout found here: https://beate.splitcoaststampers.com/category/weekend-sketch-challenge/
If you haven’t visited Beate’s blog, you may just want to. It’s one I visit all the time. She posts a new sketch every weekend and they are always so original. Thanks Beate!
Recipe: Started out with two pieces of Whisper White card stock (top main panel & 3rd from the top) sponged them with Adirondack Aqua ink around the out side edges working towards the middle in a circular motion. I left the middles of the card stock white for highlight. Stamped vines from Basic Grey set Winterland in Aqua ink on both pieces of Whisper White. Stamped Stem Silhouette on top panel using Distress Ink Aged Mahogany. Assembled card , except for bottom layer and stamped Winterland vines again, this time in Stampin Up Bayou Blue. I highlighted the Bayou Blue vines with a Not Quite Navy Marker and White Gel Pen. Extended the Stem Silhouette’s stems onto bottom layers with a Bravo Burgundy marker. Stamped Bird with Aged Mahogany and highlighted with a white gel pen. Added bottom layer and brads.
| Stamps: Stampin Up Stem Silhouettes, Basic Grey Winterland |
| Paper: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky |
| Ink: Stampin Up Blue Bayou, Adirondack Aqua, Distress Ink Aged Mahogany |
| Accessories: Brads, Sponge, SU Not Quite Navy & Bravo Burgundy Markers, White Gel Pen |
Note: You can get so much dimension in your pieces by stamping in layers, to bring things forward in your scene, stamp them in a darker color. To push images back, as if in the distance, stamp them in lighter, cooler colors.
Enjoy your day!
