Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for February. This month we have a sketch challenge. I truly love a sketch to work with. I try to think outside the box for these challenges and use a bundle I am not gravitating towards. The Ocean Friends Bundle is so much fun and has lots of colour I decided to create using the bundle and the beautiful coordinating Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper.

Below is an image of where the team reside around the world. It is such a wonderful group of creatives supporting each other and enjoying sharing creativity together! What's not to love about that, right!

Below is the sketch for this challenge.

I have kept my card simple to show the beautiful Designer Series Paper in all its glory. The card base is basic white as is the Stylish Shapes Die cut stitched circle for the focal piece. The DSP background layer and three background pieces where all cut from the Friends of the Ocean DSP. Both glued to the card base. It is such a vibrant and colourful DSP.

The bubbles were stamped in Coastal Cabana ink on the stitched circle layer. The crab was stamped in Melon Mambo ink and Die cut using the coordinating die before being adhered to the bottom right of the circle using Dimensionals. This layer adhered to the card front using Dimensionals.

I die cut four of the tassel pieces from the Birthday Celebrations Dies and glued them together at the top. I adhered them to the left hand side of the circle layer using glue. I tied a length of White Baler's Twine in a double bow and adhered it to the top of the tassel using a GlueDot™. I love the simpleness of this card and the sketch was wonderful to use.
