We have arrived at Day #3 of the fabulous Studio Calico / Caardvarks Sketchfest. I've been having so much fun checking out all of the different sketch entries ... so much inspiration to be found.
I think this is one of my favorite sketch cards of the bunch ... such a unique sketch by the ultra-talented Heidi Van Laar ... it's soperfect for featuring circle elements. The circle tag on my card was included in the great Studio Calico kit that Varks Crew received. The sentiment at the bottom was cut from another tag.
I also loved the fabulous Maya Road pinwheel flowers (they are sort of a leathery vinyl with great texture).
I created my own background paper by stamping the Studio Calico Digits stamp repeatedly in a tone-on-tone ink color. It was such a fun effect and a great way to work with small acrylic stamps.
I can't wait to see what you create.
WOWzers! This just takes my breath away. I'm a sucker for numbers, but can never think how to use them. Your idea is ingenious (and on turquoise no less) YUMMMMM! Love the way you rocked those labels too!
