It will be at the North Valley Academy from 10a to 3p.
Hope to see you there!
On this Friday, I am participating in the sketch challenge brought to you by Sketch Frenzy Friday. Maria, is the designer of this weeks sketch. Maria, does a fabulous job on giving us a very user friendly sketch. Here is her sketch:
See, what I mean? You can keep this sketch clean and simple, or embellish the heck out of it!
Here is what I created:
These past several weeks, I have been busy making many, many holiday themed paper crafts. So, this week, I took a break from Christmas themed cards.
The card base is pool party card stock. For the main panel, I used the polka dot background stamp. I stamped the polka dots with Versa Mark ink and used white embossing powder. I wanted a subtle and feminine background. So, that is what I came up with.
I have to admit, that I really love pool party and summer starfruit together. Just pretty. So I added a strip of summer starfruit pattern paper for my horizontal piece. I crinkled some very vanilla seam binding. I wrapped the seam binding around the pattern paper piece, and then created a multi-loop bow. I secured the bow to the card front with a sparkle-y black glimmer brad. I stamped and attached the 'thanks' tag to the glimmer brad.
For my focal pieces, I stamped the 'Thank You' stamp off the very vanilla card stock piece. I sponged crumb cake classic ink along the edges. For my frame piece, I first dry embossed the frame in pool party card stock. I distressed the edges with crumb cake card stock, too. I cut the very vanilla piece to fit inside the frame. I sponged the edges here, too. I stamped the little girl in basic black classic ink. I used my heat gun to speed the drying of the ink. Then carefully, I used a blender pen to color the image. I used crumb cake for her hair. I used pool party of various portions of her outfit. I used blush blossom to color her skin. For the heart, I used pink pirouette classic ink. Then, I used my 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamond glitter to the heart.
I hope that you have been inspired and can play along with us @ Sketch Frenzy Friday.
Happy Crafting! hugs, Sharon W.
