Here is a recent sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. Click on the link to see more great inspiration for this challenge.
This is the sketch. It calls for a tall card – basically to fit in an office envelope (DL).
… and here is my card
Tips:
- Create a Faux Letterpress background with a little twist. Ink the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with Balmy Blue ink and a Sponge Brayer and then stamp the owl from Still Night on the folder using Basic Gray ink. Place a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock in the folder and run through the Big Shot.
- Attach the embossed piece to a Night of Navy card base. The card base is 21cm x 21cm, scored at 10.5cm.
- Stamp ‘ground’ from High Tide at the top of a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock with Early Espresso ink.
- Stamp the birthday sentiment from Perennial Birthday using Night of Navy ink.
- Attach the Sahara Sand layer to overlap the embossed layer, then stamp the grass from High Tide so that part of it is on the embossed layer.
- Stamp the owl with Basic Gray ink on Whisper White cardstock and die cut with the matching die from Night Owl Thinlits. Use a Sponge Brayer and Sahara Sand ink to add some depth to the owl. Attach the owl to the embossed layer using Dimensionals.
