SCS sketch challenge 141
Yesterday’s sketch challenge wasn’t the easiest sketch to work with.
I knew before I even looked at the sketch, that I wanted to use my Holy Triptych set that had arrived Monday afternoon. I was itching to play with it.
I started with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Always Artichoke cardstock, folded it in half and sponged it’s edges.
You heard me right. I made a rectangle card!!!
Next was a 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of black cardstock that I scalloped with my corner rounder on the left edge. On top of that are two pieces of Wintergreen Designer paper, the right strip measuring 1″ x 5 1/4″, the left one 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
I used the ticket corner punch on the outer four corners, stamped the swirl from the tag in that set in Artichoke in three corners and taped it down to the black cardstock. I added two tabs I made with the window word punch on the top left corner, the one that didn’t get a swirl, and finished them off with Pewter Brads.
For the main image I stamped the Angel from Holy Triptych in Black Stazon on a 1 3/4″ square of Shimmery White cardstock.
I colored the angel with Always Artichoke, Soft Sky, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa and Blush Blossom ink pads and aqua painter and sponged the edges with Soft Sky ink.
The square was layered first on a 2″ black square, then on a sponge Always Artichoke Giga Scallop Square (Marvy Uchida) punchout.
I stamped the saying from Star-Studded Season in Black ink on Shimmery White cardstock and punched it out with my small oval punch. It was layered on a 1″ sponged Always Artichoke circle and on a black designer label punchout.
I added some Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware and Theater Ribbon Original and was done.
Ooh..gorgeous as always. I think the scallops really set it off well. I am stuck on the rectangle cards..I can’t work too well with the sqaure cards. For some reason I can never get the image to work with the size of the card. Maybe i’ll try more this weekend…in Chocolate Chip, of course!
Oh this is such a pretty card. I love the colors and the soft coloring of the angel.
Oh, this card is beautiful, Beate!! I hope you are having a terrific day!
So Beautiful Beate! I love the stamped swirls on the patterned paper. It really kicks it up a notch!
I sat there last night trying to figure out what to do…being my first challenge and all…and nothing! And here you come out with an absolutely amazing card!!! I need inspiration!! I will try again Friday and Saturday..I am going to beat this!! LOL
It is beautiful ~ Even as a rectangle ~ LOL!!!!
