Simple Sketch #14 Challenge - May 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 5/24/2024 - 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 5/31/2024, so they can be entered in my drawing on 6/1/2024. All card pictures must be posted by midnight 5/31/2024. 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 May Blog Hop - Celebrating Men

 

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 Celebrating Men.

 ~*~*~*~*~

I love that we do one blog hop a year that is all about the men in our lives.   I grew up with seven brothers and in my hubbies family it is just him and one brother, plus I have tons of nephews and four grandsons - so there are a lot of men in my life.  But masculine cards are always hard for me.  So let's have some fun - celebrating those men in our lives. For my card I pulled out a couple great sets - 

#163600 Sweetly Scripted  $24.00*

Such a great set with simple sentiments - and really different than other sets we have.  I used the Watercolor World set -

#160708 Watercolor World $23.00*

First stamping it with Wild Wheat - then adding color by daubing with Copper Clay and Pebbled Path.  This is the masculine card I created.

It really came together with the new Basic Beige cardstock and ribbon.  Simple irich colors - no bling - all about the guys!  What do you think?  

~*~*~*~*~

Thank you for stopping by my blog.   Maybe you got some inspiration for creating something wonderful of your own.  I would love it if you would leave me a comment below and stop back soon.  Don't forget to click through on each name below to see even more awesome ideas.
