GDP#38 Sketch Challenge

Hey, how are you all doing today? I am doing very well, had some chatty time with Justin (from Stamp Ink Paper) and placed my first order with his new crafty company SIP!!!  Online store coming very soon...  In other news, I am waiting for the final grades to be posted... here's hoping for an A!

Butter only has a few weeks of 6th grade left, and I am looking forward to summer break, homeschool is hard! lol.. Moms need breaks too...

Anyway on to today's challenge 

Global Design Project has an awesome sketch... so I went to work!

I started by stamping my larger image from the Stamp Of Approval April Kit, from Gina K. in Black. Then I took my ruler and drew lines on each side, to create the layered look... I filled in the area with blue, then black on the edge of the blue, and finished that part off with some gray to create a shadow effect!  I went back over with my marker to match my Soft Sky ink from Stampin' Up!

Next, I cut the butterfly die from Sugar Pea Designs for SOA in vellum and coated it with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush pen.  I attached the layers together and finished it off with a few Atmosphere sequins from little things from Lucy's card !

Until next time

CYCI#106 A Sketch Challenge by Elizabeth

Wow... I can't believe how quickly my week off of school went! Grades are in and I got the A I was expecting! Woohoo.... 4.0 for my first term! Phycology starts on Monday and I am so excited to see what that class has in store for me!  Any who... Today's sketch is from Elizabeth, she did an exceptional job on it too!

I went straight to my paper stack stash to see what I could work with on this card!

The Studio Calico's Wanderlust collection was perfect!

I love blues and greens together, I made a simple but fun birthday card for a kiddo!

I added the freebie stamp set I got from Simon Says Stamp - Birthday Celebrate which has the super cute Elephant on it, the birthday sentiment and lots of others to keep it useful all year long. 

Next I took out my Simon Stitched Rectangle dies, and some acetate for the shaker portion of my card.  I colored in the Elephant with Zig Clean Color watercolors.  Some black thread and one sprinkle for the hat! I'm using 120# white cardstock for the base, a bit of Doodlebug dolphin and watercolor paper too! The last thing I added was Little Things from Lucy's Cards in Atmosphere and Snowdrift which I mixed together, along with a bit of Simon's seed beads!

I hope you'll like my card and that you will join us at CYCI for another week of fun!!!

Until next time!
