Weekend Sketch Challenge #4
It’s time to play again.
The inspiration for this sketch came from my Party Time Monkey card last weekend. I love simple sketches. So for the next few weeks we will take it easy! Here is the sketch for this weekend:
This will be the last time I raffle away something for using my sketch until after my trip to Germany.
I am getting excited. The kids and I are going back to Germany for two weeks. We are leaving on the 11th of June and come back on the 25th. I haven’t been home in 4 years!
I will still post sketches the Fridays I am gone, but I won’t do raffles until I am back home. I am a scatterbrain and would just forget to send out the stuff! LOL
I preordered from the Fall Preview catalog this morning. I am thrilled to finally get some new Stampin’ Up! rubber!!! I can’t wait!!! For those of you curious on what I preordered….don’t judge me, but I got it all. The whole Shebang! I am “SU new rubber deprived”.
The winner of this weekends raffle will get some Zoofari images! My order will come in on Tuesday and I will get the images out on Wednesday.
I know a lot of people really dislike this set. I think it will make for some funky cards and can’t wait to play with it. I am so excited to finally get some new Stampin’ Up! rubber!!! I can’t wait!!! It has been wayyyyy to long.
To participate in this weeks challenge, make a card with this sketch and upload it on your blog or on Splitcoaststampers. Then add a link to your card in the comment section! I will draw a winner on Tuesday morning. I let this weeks sketch run a day longer because I won’t get the Zoofari set until then.
I made this card for the sketch challenge this morning. I had bought All Mixed Up because of the cute images it comes with and all the fun posibilities. I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I used it. I still really like it though. I think it’s a fun set to let your kids play with too. Bummer SU didn’t give it another year and it’s now on the retiring list.
My card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ Cool Caribbean cardstock.
No Chocolate Chip on this card! I was trying to work it in though. LOL It’s simply my favorite neutral color to enhance cards.
On top of the Caribbean is a 5″ square of Basic Black followed by a 4 3/4″ square Certainly Celery POP designer paper. The scallop border on the bottom of the paper was made with the corner rounder.
I layered a 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Apricot Appeal Designer paper over the Celery paper and “stitched” all the edges with my All in A Row stamp. It will now permanently stay on my table! Why always put it away just to get it out for the next card?
The Miss you from Take Three is stamped in black on Whisper white and slipped under my Apricot POP paper. The three black circles are punched out with the 1/2″ circle punch. I added turquoise eyelets from the Favorite collection in the center of the circles. Well…kinda in the center. I was stamping early and didn’t want to wake my kids with eyelet banging. So I punched holes and set the eyelets with my hole punches.
For the main image I stamped the midrift and head of the duck on whisper white cardstock. I colored the image with Going Gray, Apricot Appeal, Taken with Teal and Cool Caribbean ink pads and aqua painter. The top part is sponged really soft with bashful blue. I cut a black mat with my Coluzzle and layered that on a Cool Caribbean punchout from my Giga Scallop Circle punch from Uchida. It still needed some black so I outlined the scallops with my Micron pen. I paper pierced a hole in each scallop and added a dot with the pen.

I never appreciated how cute that set was. Perfect card to accent that cute little quacker.
Posted by: Valerie | June 1st, 2007 19:10
What a great sketch! I’ll have to try it later tonight. I have to say although I’m a hater of Zoofart, I will be ordering it just to make twisted cards. Just can’t resist. I can’t wait to see what everyone does with it!

Great sketch Beate! I can’t wait to play (after the boys go to sleep of course). How fun that you get to go back to Germany. My mom is from Kelheim (off the Danube). I was able to go there with my mom when I was twelve (as most of her family still lives there). I can still picture the beautiful castle that is there (excuse my spelling….the Befreungshalle?) along with all the beautiful cobblestone streets. The smell of the butcher shops and bread shops….
Have fun and eat a gummy bear and some good chocolate for me, ok?

When I saw this fabulous sketch last night, it was just the inspiration I needed for the anniversary card I was planning to make my husband. Here’s a link to my card. It’s posted on my blog “Stamping with Serendipity” - http://smileycollector.blogspot.com/
Beate, your blog is truly one of my favorites and I visit often. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us.

[…] Beate (rhymes with Miata) had a very fun, easy sketch posted for weekend inspiration. I paired it with some patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye and some large Prima flowers for a quick and easy birthday card. The only stampin’ is the Linen background on the Chocolate Chip band and the Happy Birthday greeting. My Spring Bouquet flower punch is a must have for your own ‘fake’ flowers. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Flower Punch from SU!, but that will be another post later in the week! (after the UPS man delivers my new catalog preorder!) The SU! accent color is Certainly Celery, and the brads are from Makin’ Memories! Thanks, Beate, for a Fresh and Fun sketch for the weekend!

Hi Beate, thanks for posting another fun challenge! I cheated a little, I used a rectangular main image instead of a circle, please forgive me!

Have a wonderful time in Germany! What part of Germany are you from? I’ve had a penpal since I was ~12yrs old from a small town in sort of southwestern Germany!
I’ve been there twice, such a beautiful country!

This is a great sketch! I decided that I would try to do this card using only a Simply scrappin’ kit. I think I would have liked the card better if I hadn’t added my own challenge. Oh well. I look forward to the next sketch! Thanks Beate!

Finally jumped on board and did a sketch! I think this is the one of the few times (maybe even first) the design just popped into my head and didn’t case anyone! Thanks for putting up the concept!

Beate,
I finally had the time to do one of your sketches. I managed to get it done Sunday night but didn’t have time to get it uploaded until now so I’m glad for the day extension.
Thanks for the gorgeous sketch - I altered it to be a standard card size.
