Happy Friday. I hope this post finds you well. This has been a good week at work. Good, because everything went well. I did some baking for a luncheon earlier this week. Those cupcakes were delicious!
Ok, so now onto crafting! The wonderfully talented Kim @ Sketch Frenzy Friday has created a straight forward sketch for you to try.
here is the sketch:
here is what I did:
This card was alot of fun to create. I wanted to use a pattern paper that wasn't too busy. So, I selected a small pattern from a Scrappin' kit. I also used a scrap piece of textured pool party card stock, for the lower third of the card. For the pennants, I used bits and pieces from various stamp sets, and repeated the same colors: more mustard, basic grey, and pool party, and added some goodies.
For the horizontal belly band, I used the lace wheel inked in basic grey classic ink, and rolled onto whisper white cardstock. To cover the seams, I added a strip of summer starfruit ribbon.
For the sentiment tag, I stamped the decorative scalloped oval in more mustard classic ink. I also stamped the sentiment in basic grey classic ink. I used a square punch to create the banner end. I stapled the two pieces together. I thought the metal staple would add some charm. To help build the sentiment cluster, I stamped a ticket onto whisper white cardstock, then sponged the ticket with pool party classic ink.
For the pennant pieces, I used various stamps and embellishments I had on hand. To keep it all cohesive, I repeated images, and kept the same colors. The pennant pieces are made with pool party card stock, with a layer of whisper white cardstock.
Working from the left to the right: I stamped the smallest doily in pool party classic ink and fussy cut. I stamped a floral image in basic grey classic ink and fussy cut. I made a multi-loop bow from pool party seam binding and used an in color designer brad to hold it together. To continue the feminine look, I added a trio of pearls along the lower right edge.
For the middle pennant, I inked the music note wheel in basic grey classic ink. I used the same small doily stamped in more mustard classic ink, randomly. I sponged more mustard classic ink onto a fabric blossom. I dotted the blossom with my 2 way glue pen and dunked in a tub of dazzling diamond glitter. I punched a few leaves from a scrap piece certainly celery cardstock. I added a scrap piece of floral lace and a few pearls. I also added a trio of pearls in the upper left corner.
For the last pennant, I stamped the white card stock with the small doily stamp. I stamped the same small doily in pool party classic ink, onto a piece of pool party card stock, and fussy cut the doily out. I added a circle of white cardstock. I added a grey pattern circle from the scrappin' kit. The butterfly is from the scrappin' kit, as well. I dusted the back of the butterfly sticker with baby powder, to neutralize the sticky. I bent the wings and added some pearls for the body. I also added a trio of pearls to the lower right corner.
I strung the pennants with pool party bakers twine. I used two neutral brads to secure the pennants to the card front.
Now it's your turn! Let's see what you create for our sketch challenge @ SFF.
