Freshly Made Sketches #583

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our fab sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Kim Singdahlsen.

I’ve gone with a neutral toned masculine card using the Lighthouse Dies from Stampin Up!. I cut out the lighthouse with a combination of Basic White and Kraft Cardstock.

The background, and pretty much all of my card, was made up with strips of cardstock that I had laying on my desk. It feels so good to be able to use up pieces of discarded strips.

To add interest to the background I flicked ink to the white cardstock with the Light Black Blend. I added a torn piece of ribbon to the lighthouse and some cloud die cuts. These were added because I like to add details to all of my cards.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I chose night and silhouette for my card.

To create the background of my card I took a Blending Brush and the following ink colours:

  • – Tahitian Tide
  • Orchid Oasis
  • Starry Sky

After my background was blended, I took the White Craft Stampin’ Ink Refill bottle and added some ink to a block. I then took my Water Painter and flicked some ink onto the blended background. This created a starry background on the night scene.

The lighthouse I added to the card was cut with the Lighthouse Dies. The clouds were then cut from clouds dies in the Lighthouse Dies set. To create a more realistic scene, I added some trees cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies. Each of trees were daubed around the edges with Basic Gray Ink.

Some Linen Thread and a sentiment finished off the card.
