Simple Sketch #10 Challenge - January 2024

 

Join me for some FUN! Each month (almost) I will be doing a new sketch challenge around the last week of the month.

A Monthly Sketch Challenge!

Here is the sketch! Use it as your inspiration - your card should contain all the layers, but you can take some liberty with them. Add any embellishments you wish.

You might recognize this from my FB Live video 1/26/2024 - here is the card I created -

Just use the sketch and have fun.  The rest is up to you - just try and have similar layers!  Feel free to even change the size of the card or the orientation.  The coloring on the sketch, is just to show the layers - use any colors you wish!!  Here's the sketch with the measurements I used - 

Post the card(s) you make in the comments of my Facebook Business page HERE, find the pinned Sketch challenge post at the top of my page and be sure to post by 1/31/2024, so they can be entered in my drawing on 2/1/2024. All card pictures must be posted by midnight 1/31/2024. Each unique card pic is an entry - and I will give away a fun prize. Have fun with this - can't wait to see what you make!

I hope you play along - have fun with it - take some creative license - just use the sketch as your inspiration!!

SF-2024 January Blog Hop - Life's Special Occasions

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for great inspiration as we create some great projects focusing on Life's Special Occasions.

 ~*~*~*~*~

So for my card I chose one of Life's most special occasions - birthdays! We all have them, and most of us love to celebrate them - so why not right!?!  

Just purchased the "Filled With Happiness" set out of the new mini-catalog - and it was perfect!

#162915 Filled With Happiness $20.00

First I stamped this great image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Next I colored with the following blends - Dark Bubble Bath, Light Lemon Lolly, and Light & Dark Boho Blue.  After that I was able to punch out the center with the Modern Oval Punch.

#162234 Modern Oval Punch $22.00

After starting with a Basic White Base, I layered Bubble Bath Cardstock (4" x 5 1/4") and Poetic Expressions DSP ( 3 3/4" x 5").  Then I added the colored layer to the center of the card - and popped up the outer border on dimensionals.

Finally I added a pretty Lemon Lolly bow and three Bubble Bath sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Perfect colors for Spring!

I hope you enjoyed it!
