Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for October. 

This month we have a fun Sketch Challenge. You all know I love a sketch to work with and for this challenge I tried to keep it very simple. Sometimes you have limited time to create and that is when I think a sketch works really well.  I also think a suite works well for this too. So, I pulled out products from the Nests of Winter Bundle.

The card came together very easily. The card base is Smokey Slate and the strip at the top and bottom are Basic White card stock. The cental layer is a piece of the beautiful Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper that looks like bark. 

I cut the focus piece of Designer series paper into a 5cm strip before tearing it. I love the sweet birds flying between branches on this piece of paper. All the layers on the front are glued down except the sentiment which is stamped in Basic Gray ink on Smokey Slate card stock and adhered using  Dimensionals. I tied a length of the White Time in a bow across the focus layer and adhered at the back with Seal+ before adhering the sentiment. I finished the card by placing three of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the back piece of Designer Series Paper.

Up next on this month’s blog hop is my dear friend Annette Ball.
