A Sketch of this - A Sketch of that

Yes, you guessed it, more cards created from sketches!

The first one uses the sketch from this last week from Unscripted Sketches #23.

Just sitting on my scrapping desk were these Scenic Route papers wanting to be used. I love red anyway, so I had to figure out how to use them for this card. And, I seem to want to use the notebook prints on everything.

I love the Nestabilities. I love the two steps, the one that cuts the shape and the other that gives an embossed line. I think they look so neat when they are done. I left the die in place while I lightly tapped it with a chalk stamp pad. This added just a bit of shading to the shape.

I also just plain LOVE this Loopy border punch and I thought it made for a great side accent to go along with the sketch. Notice the Core'dinations cardstock. Even with this great tan paper, when the edges are sanded, the core is exposed.

This card puts to use the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch #35 for this last week. More papers that were just sitting on my desk wanting to be used are these great papers by Jenni Bowlin. I so love the black and cream papers in this collection.

The chipboard piece is by Tattered Angels and I colored it by spraying it with a few colors of Glimmer Mist. Such a fast and easy way to color my piece.

Notice two things here, the scallop piece is the new Embossed Jenni Bowlin Core'dinations and the card base is a piece of Black Magic. It is black on the top side and a great tan on the reverse side. When this is sanded, the tan core is exposed and what I really love is that you can have a black card with a lighter color on the inside for your greeting.

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
