Soft Friend
I made this sample for today’s sketch challenge as well as this weeks Color Challenge on SCS. Now looking at the sketch again, I see that I didn’t follow my own sketch! Oopsie!!!
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock.
The next layers were put together before adhering the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Western Skies Designer Paper layer on top of the card base with dimensionals.
The horizontal designer paper is also from the Western Sky pack and measures 1 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. A thin white strip was adhered to the left hand side. Over it a 1 1/4″ black circle punchout was placed and a Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelet with Striped Pumpkin ribbon added.
The Pumpkin horizontal layer is from the Bali Breeze Designer Paper pack and measures 2 1/2″ x 3 7/8″. A small scallop border was added on the bottom part. That scallop border was cut with a long rectangle Nestabilities die template. The top part of the pumpkin layer was paper pierced.
For the sentiment I cut a black scallop rectangle with my Nestabilities and cut Soft Sky and Whisper White layers to match. Then I went looking for a set that would fit and match the designer papers I picked. I ended up with True Friend and stamped the sentiment in black in the center of the white layer, with a second generation stamping of the flower in Soft Sky behind it.
Three 1/4″ black circles on the bottom with Ruby Red brads and a double photo corner with black brads finish off the card.

Hallo Beate, deine Karte sieht mal wieder hinreißend aus. Die Farbezusammenstellung und der Sketch sind klasse. Vielleicht gelingt es mir diese Woche mal, danach zu kreieren..:-) Aber zu erst kommt der Scor Pal dran…:-)
