Simply Elegant from Stampin Up

 Another week and another #sketchintuesday post to share.  My sketches are always sent to me from a friend and fellow demonstrator at Making cards at 1 Ink Hill, from a random Pinterest search.  I think she looks for the more difficult ideas on purpose. This week I chose a more solemn card theme, it seems I use more this time of year and needed to build up a stash.  The dsp I selected is anything but drab, in fact it is very elegant but not in a showy way.  The bold designs are being paired with Basic Gray and Very Vanilla to complete the whole package.  Simply Elegant dsp, Elegant Tag Punch, Peaceful Moments stamp set, Basic Border Dies, Basic Gray & Very Vanilla cardstock,  simple black bow from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack are all from the annual catalogue.  The embellishments I used are from the new January to June mini, Classic Matte Dots.  While it is sad to have to create sympathy cards, it is still fun to adhere cardstock, dsp and punched shapes together to build something beautiful.  

So many pretty designs that all mesh together especially with the muted tones, that’s what I love most about Stampin Up products.  

I hope you can take some time to create a project using this sketch too.  

Thanks for dropping by,
