Guava Joy

I haven’t participated in SCS challenges in week. I miss it. So when I was working on my sample for today’s sketch challenge, I thought I use one of the recent color challenge combos that I had missed: Groovy Guava, Blush Blossom and Basic Grey.

My card base is a 6″ Blush Blossom square folded in half.

The Basic Grey cardstock layer measures 3 1/2″ x 3″ followed by a 3 1/4″ x 3″ piece of Groovy Guava Prints Designer Paper.

The vertical sides of the designer paper were paper pierced. I punched a hole with my Crop-a-dile through both the grey and designer paper layer and tied white Taffeta ribbon through it.

I stamped the sentiment from Enjoy Every Momentin Basic Grey on Shimmery White and cut the cardstock down to 1 5/8″ x 3 1/2″. It was layered on a Basic Grey scalloped rectangle cut with the long scallop rectangle Nestabilities template.

I highlighted the word with my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust pen. The small flower was stamped in Groovy Guava on Shimmery white, punched out with the 1/2″ circle punch, taped in the center of the O in enjoy and a Pewter brad was set in it’s center.

The big flower was inked up with Groovy Guava, the edges lined with Basic Grey (with help of a Fantastix), stamped on Shimmery White cardstock and cut out. Next I stamped the circular flower stamp in Basic Grey on Shimmery White and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch. It was taped in the center of the big flower and topped with another Pewter brad. (Well….the Guava flower didn’t show up enough over the Guava DP, so I used my R14 Copic Marker to intensify the color a bit).

All layers were adhered with dimensionals.

Weekend Sketch Challenge #46

I have a problem! I can’t keep up with the WSC participation anymore.
I tried for the last two weeks and it takes all my free time. I don’t stamp anymore. It is stressing me out. I love that everyone is participating, but I can’t comment on every entry anymore. I am sorry, but I hope you understand.

 I received a RAK from Tiffany Cordero with this layout and thought it would make a wonderful sketch challenge:

To participate in the challenge and be entered in the  raffle, make a card with this layout and upload it either to your blog, or to an online gallery.

 If you upload your card on SCS, put WSC46  (NO SPACE INBETWEEN WSC AND 46) in the keyword section. That way we can look at all of them at once!

Post a link to your card to this blog entry as a comment. Please add your entry# to it.

I will determine the winner  with Random.org on Monday at 11:00 a.m. CST
