New Horizons DSP sketch challenge

 Welcome to another project post from my #sketchintuesday lives I do each Tuesday on my Facebook page East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise.  My sketch this week was a little more complex than last weeks, but that’s ok, I love a good challenge.  I might have eliminated an extra layer but am quite happy with the results.  I even kicked in some old school Girl Guide knot tying for one of the elements.  I have been involved in guiding for over 25 years both as a youth participant and adult.  Started when my girls were involved and continued once they went through.  Have taught many girls how to tie knots so when I envisioned this card, I knew exactly what I needed.  Let’s take a 👀 



I stamped the bird image directly onto the dsp using Memento ink, added sentiment to my die cut piece of Basic White and also the lighthouse image onto scrap piece of Basic White.  After fussing cutting the lighthouse, I coloured in using my blends.  Once I put the card together, I used some Wink of Stella and painted in several spots to give an all over look of water spray on the card.  I am so loving this dsp, no matter what look you are trying to achieve, it is there doing all of the work for you.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
