#sketchintuesday

 Every Tuesday I create a card from a random sketch given to me by my fellow demo Barb Stortz from Making cards at 1 ink hill.  I use the sketch as a basic idea and go from there.  This week I focused on using the Snail Mail designer series paper, letting the cute designs steal the show.  Yes, I fussy cut out the snails and then used one of my “Many Messages” die cut sentiments to top it off.  We have lots of fun chatting and creating, drop by next week to my Facebook page: EastCoastStamping with Mary Louise.  Would love your company!

Step- By- Step Instructions:

 

Stamping: using the Many Messages stamp and die, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink, then die cut.

Fussy cut or die cut 4 images from the dsp-I used the snails for all of mine.  3 are for the front, and 1 is for the inside piece.

Let’s put the card together now:

Adhere the dsp to the front of your card, then place the 3 small strips on  the front.  Finish the front off by using dimensionals on the snails and the sentiment.

For the insert, adhere the last piece of dsp to the bottom of the basic white piece adding the last snail just above it.  Next, adhere this piece to the inside of the card.
