My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge WSC632

 

I'm delighted to be sharing the latest Sketch Challenge WSC632 from MFT Stamps.  Above you'll see the sketch you're working with this week and of course my inspiration card for which I will now share the details.  Here's what I used:-

Hunny Bunny

Hunny Bunny Die-namics

A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax Die-namics Set 1

Never-Ending Love Background Stamp

Mini Cloud Edges Stencil

I created the background panel with the background stamp and and then die cut with the Stax die-namics.  I took another panel and stencil ink blended the clouds and then trimmed that to size per the sketch, backing the pieces with craft foam and applying.  This whole panel was then backed with more craft foam and applied to an A2 panel of Ripe Raspberry cardstock and set to one side.

I stamped and coloured the images I was needing from Hunny Bunny - such an ADORABLE stamp set for occasions year round.  I coloured the images using the following colour palette of Copic markers:-

Bunnies - E41, E50, W3, W2, W1

Deep Pink - V05, RV63, RV52, V01

Medium Pink - RV63, RV52, 

Light Pink - RV52, RV000

I shaded the hearts and clothing using the W greys for depth and definition.

I highlighted with a white gel pen and then die cut and applied with dimensional foam tape.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Ripe Raspberry Ink and applied the strip to finish the project.

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Valentines Challenge

 

Are you reading my blog today to learn how to  participate in the brand new Hello Bluebird Stamps design challenge for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate.   This challenge runs from today until 11.59pm MST on Valentine's Day with the winning entry (randomly selected) being announced on the Hello Bluebird Instagram on the 15th.  Please check out Hello Bluebird's Instagram and/or blog for entry rules.

My inspiration card uses the following Hello Bluebird products:-

Life Is But A Dream

Life Is But A Dream Die

Woven Background Stamp

Jane Small Alpha Die

Nesting Deckle A2 Die

Nesting Oval Die

I started by stamping the background and then die cutting with the deckle die to give the edge interest.  This was backed with craft foam and applied to an A2 white panel then glued to the card base.

I then die cut a panel using the oval nesting die and ink blended in pink to create a soft focal point.   This was backed with foam tape and applied to the woven background.

I stamped the image I was wanting to use from Life Is But A Dream and coloured it with the following Copic markers:-

Bear - E42, E41, E40, E50

Fox - E13, E11, E21, E00

Blush - R21, R20, R00

Pink - RV17, RV06, RV04, C3, C1

Red - R39

White - C3, C1, C0

I used a white gel pen to highlight some spots then die cut and adhered to the oval.

I used Jane Small Alpha to die cut red cardstock to give me a few X's and O's and arranged them in the water, at the end of their fishing lines and tucked a couple in their sweet canoe and I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied that too.  I also added a few die cut deep pink hearts above their heads.  Something slightly different for Valentine's Day.

Have fun with your own entry and remember it is a randomly selected winner and so your skill level is of no consequence!
