National Scrapbook Day- SC Challenge #5!

  Having fun yet?!

 

I am!

 

I'm back with another challenge- I'm playing along at Studio Calico today!

You can check out all of the fabulous challenges HERE!

 

 

The next challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE!

 

Here's the card sketch for the challenge, based on THIS card by the amazing Carissa Wiley!

 

 

Here's my take on the sketch:

 



 

This sketch is so fun! I used it as inspiration for this card that I created using the Camelot Card Kit. Along the diagonal section, I stamped some floral images to peek out under the die cut scalloped circle. I stamped the flowers off on scrap paper before stamping them on the card to achieve a softer look. I also stamped some flowers and hand cut them to use as accents around the scalloped circle element. 

 

You can view the full supply list for this card in my GALLERY!

 

We'll be chatting at Studio Calico at 7PM EDT! I hope to see you there!

National Scrapbook Day- SC Challenge #4!

Second- COOL STUFF!

 

Studio Calico has released some super fun products to help us celebrate National Scrapbooking Day! There's a National Scrapbook Day Stamp Set:

 

 

 

and a National Scrapbook Day Mini Kit!

 

 

 

Now time for a CARD! The first challenge I'm playing along with today is the Challenge #4: Create your own patterned paper with repetitious use of stamps.

 

I love using stamps to create my own patterns for cards! I'm always looking for flat cards and using stamps is a great way to add interest without the bulk! I used the floral stamps from the Morgan Card Kit and some pretty Color Theory inks and stamped repeatedly in different colors to create a pattern. SO fun!

 

You can see a full supply list in my gallery HERE!

 

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back at 6 with another challenge project!
