Weekend Sketch Challenge #70
Starting today we will handle the WSC a little different.
Every week there will be a different girl from the challenge team creating the sketch and hosting the challenge.
Today’s sketch is from Lori. Please go there to add your entry! I don’t know if you noticed, but I added a Mr. Linky to last weeks challenge later that last weekend. We will use it from now on for the challenges. It will make it easier to look at everyone’s sample.
What a great sketch to show off Designer paper. I know we all have some! LOL
I started my card by working on the main image. I used the 1 3/4″ x 3″ outer right hand strip for that. I stamped the flower from Le Jardin Botanique (GORGEOUS new set) in Basic Brown on Shimmery White cardstock.
I masked the flower and stamped En Francais over in Sahara Sand. Two more flowers were stamped in Sahara Sand over the cardstock and the edges were sponged in the same color. Next I colored the image with Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze classic inks and Aqua Painter. To finish the image off I added a little sparkle with the 2 way glue and Dazzling Diamond Glitter.
The edges were distressed with the Cutter Kit and the top left and bottom right received a few paper piercings. I punched a 3″ strip of Baja Breeze cardstock with the Eyelet Border punch, muted the color with White craft ink and taped it underneath the image on the right hand side.
The left strip measures 1 1/8″ x 3″ was sanded and is from the Parisian Breeze Designer paper. Two silver 5/16″ Jumbo brads were added to the top left. The horizontal strip of designer paper measures 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ and is from the same designer paper pack. It was also sanded and a Shimmery White Eyelet Border layer was added underneath. White Taffeta ribbon as tied around it (as well as the grey and white layer) and a hat pin from Pretties Kit was added through the knot.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. On top of that is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock. The edges were distressed with the cutter kit (and the inside cut out so I wouldn’t waste my precious shimmery paper). The gray designer paper is from the new Urban Oasis Designer Paper. The edges were paper pierced and sanded.
The sentiment is also from Le Jardin Botanique. It was stamped in Basic Brown, cut out , layered first on a 1 1/4″ Kraft circle, then a 1 3/8″ Chocolate circle and a Baja Breeze scallop circle that was muted with white craft ink.
For the card inside I distressed a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic Gray cardstock.
I stamped the flower twice in Basic Gray on the right hand side.
On the bottom I added another sanded 7/8″ x 4″ strip of Parisian Breeze Designer paper with a Eyelet Border underneath.

Have a great weekend. Hugs and smiles

Stunning as always Beate! It’s supposed to be cold and/or rainy here all weekend, so that should leave LOTS of time for stamping!

Your card is GORGEOUS! Did you ever do this stamp set justice! Love it. Those hatpins can definitely up the wow factor of any project… My Pretties box is down to a few beads and pearls, so it’s time to invest in a new one!
What I wouldn’t give to hear the English demos read what’s written on that French stamp… hehe! ;P
