Today’s CPS sketch challenge is sponsored by Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps. The sketch didn’t really lent itself to Kimmie’s big images, so I only used part of Charlotte for my card.
I cut three 1 3/8″ squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. On the first I stamped Charlotte’s head and the doll she is holding in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, on the second the doll she is holding in her other hand. The third square was stamped with sentiments from Sassy Sentiments. I stamped the extra stamp doll that comes with Charlotte on a scrap paper.
The images were colored with Copic Markers (Charlotte’s hair: E37, E47, E49, Charlotte’s skin: E000, E01, E11, Charlotte’s Dress: RV42, R32, R35, N3, N5, N6, YG01, YG03, YG17, Doll eyes: N3, N5, N6, Doll Skin: E40, E41, E42, E43, Doll Dress: BG10, BG11, BG13, Doll Collar: Y13, Y15, Y17, T2, Background: BG10, BG0000) and layered on black cardstock, cut and embossed with the smallest Lacey Square Nestabilities die.The extra doll was cut out and adhered to the sentiment panel with dimensionals. The image panels were paper pierced.
A 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of October Afternoon Modern Homemaker paper was adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. All four corners of the big layer were rounded before the layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of black cardstock. The corners were rounded as well.
Black Ric Rac was adhered over the edge of the horizontal strip. Over that green ribbon was tied and topped with a Build-a-Brad (Stampin’ Up!) was topped with a big silver Kaisercraft Rhinestone. To dress up the upper half of the card a bit, I added a Recollection Rhinestone swirl above the bow and three Buttons (Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon to the top left corner. The buttons were stitched to the card with black waxed Linen.
The card base is a 8 1/2″ x 5 3/4″ piece of Core’dination cardstock folded in half. Three tiny Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones in each of the top card corner finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to play with the sketch! Have a great day!
Hugs and smiles
