Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge

stampofapproval08 — Sun, 30 May 2010 14:26:45 +0000

I’ve had a stroke of good luck recently; every time I have sat down to make a card in the past few weeks, it has come together in less than 30 minutes. That includes design, color scheme, cutting, and assembly. I sure hope this streak continues!

Here is the card I made from the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge this week. I am very pleased with how this turned out; I’ve been very afraid to use Crushed Curry but I’m trying to tackle that! I’m also on a textured card stock kick; I just love the dimension it adds!

Supplies: Bermuda Bay cardstock, Crushed Curry cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Soft Suede cardstock, Bermuda Bay marker, Crushed Curry marker, Soft Suede marker, Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals, Large Oval punch, Scalloped Oval punch.

Stamp Set: Watercolor Trio (Summer Mini catalog)

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge

stampofapproval08 — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:48:27 +0000

I finally found a little bit of time to stamp this past weekend and was able to play along with the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch I had to work with. And here is my creation: I put the scalloped edge on the bottom instead of the top and I added a sentiment; I really liked how it turned out. Also… I really need to learn how to take better pictures of my cards. =\
