This week's Unscripted Sketch has so many possibilities.
I decided to go with a modified Inchie-like grid on the left size by cutting my Stamp-It Australia Butterfly Frame into six equal parts and attaching it to a kraft card base.
On the right side of the card I embossed navy cardstock with the Floral Frenzy Embossing Folder. I finished with a sentiment from Sentiment Swirls and a Die Cut Kaleidoscope Butterfly embellished with pearls.
I'm still loving my DCWV Magnolia Way papers for this week's Unscripted Sketch card design.
The papers are so lovely, all I had to add was a stamped sentiment, dimensional butterfly and some lovely green pearls to complete the design.
For this week's Unscripted Sketch, I used beautiful new DCWV Magnolia Way papers to create a Mother's Day card.
I added a stamped Mother's Day sentiment, a dimensional butterfly sticker, and a few SRM Stickers to complete the design.
I'm also joining the Corrosive Challenge Blog where they're celebrating Mother's Day ... and the Brown Sugar Challenge where they're celebrating Moms too.
I bought these Technique Tuesday stamps because they remind me of my three adorable nieces ... and they worked perfectly with this week's Unscripted Sketch.
I stamped them in Artprint Brown ink on heavy Ivory Linen paper and clear embossed. I added a piece of texty washi tape to finish the design.
Don't let this week's Unscripted Sketch scare you ... it just a focal image with a square on each corner ... and two long skinny rectangles on each side. Remember, it's an *unscripted* sketch to use as little or as much of it that works for you.
Every time I order from Ellen Hutson, she alwyas includes a cute little thank you image with my package. They are just too darn cute to recycle, so I save them & try to re-use them for cards when I can (this one is called Wagon of Toys).
I used four different coordinating papers from Simple Stories Handmade holiday ... it reminds me of a patchwork crazy quilt.
It's the 4 Year Blog-iversary at Unscripted Sketches ...
and we're celebrating wtih another great sketch ... and lots of great chances to win some goodies ... there are lots of different ways to be eligible for some prizes, so make sure you join the celebration fun.
This week I need congratulations cards for some new Grandparents. I started by die cutting the Hero Arts New Baby Elephant from White Felt and stamping the image in India Ink.
I stamped the elephant again on the scrap of the Basic Grey What's Up background paper to cut out the tiny heart for his ear. I finished with the perfect little Memory Box sentiment and a wrap of coordinating ribbon. It's perfect for the Clean & Simple Challenge at the Basic Grey Challenge Blog.
Since I needed several cards, I kept creating using different papers.
This time I went with greys and yellows with a wrap of grey twine.
Since these cards are for Grandmas, I'm also joining the Just for Her Challenge at Hero Arts.
For me Spring means ... baseball. All is right in our world when the St. Louis Cardinals are on TV.
The big circle in this week's Unscripted Sketch reminded me of a baseball (mine is from River City Rubber) ...although you can use any shape to replace the circle in your design. I used some wonderful Krafty Pebbles Walnut Grove papers and Baseball Stamps from Technique Tuesday. I added lots of sponging to distress my baseball & bat.
I love a stamp line where all of the images work together ... this card features four different stamps from Crafter's Companion's Stamp-It Australia line ... one of my favorites.
I used this week's Unscripted Sketch together with images from Journey (at the top), Time in Paris (middle) and French Travels (bottom). The scripty sentiment is from Sentiment Swirls.
I finished with some inky sponging and a wrap of thin seam binding. I'm also joining 52 Card Pick-up.
Can't wait to see what you create with this week's Unscripted Sketch.
This week's Unscripted Sketch card came together quick & easy ... which was good since I managed to slice off the end of my right thumb while cutting cucumbers with my mandolin ... so my ability to work on details has been limited by the big bandage.
Dear Lizzy Neopolitan Chevron paper with a doily and pre-made dimensional tag. I finished with some adhesive pearls.
My goodies arrived from my Hero Arts win, so I had to ink one up ... the focal point for my Unscripted Sketch card is an image called Flower Medley, which is perfect for the Hello Spring Card Challenge at Hero Arts. I inked it with Ranger Cobalt Archival ink and clear embossed. I used Spectrum Noir DR1 to color in one of the blooms for a bit of pop.
I used designer paper with a mesh-like design from Basic Grey's PB&J Collection. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Birthday 4 and the bottom is Hero Arts Lattice background. I added a thin strip of red cardstock & a punched red butterfly for a little more pop of color.
I'm also joining the Spring is in the Air Challenge at the Basic Grey Challenge Blog & the Free Style Challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
