Boots & Sketch Challenge

Hello Sweet n' Sassy friends! I am sharing a card today made with the cute new set Springtime.

I used the sketch for the February SNSS VIP Group Challenge on Facebook designed by our very own Julee Tilman. If your not already a member we would love to have you join us!

 The sketch I used to create my card.

I started by looking through my pattern paper until I found something that would work with the boots. I was super excited to find the bee paper!  I stamped the images on Canson XL watercolor paper with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I used my Arteza Real Brush Pens to color them (sunset yellow, bumblebee yellow, wisteria purple, rouge pink, green tea, ice blue, elephant gray and red). Afterwards, I die cut the boots with a wonky stitch circle die and fussy cut out the butterfly and ladybug. I also die cut out another circle for matting  and found a coordinating piece of scrap cardstock for the banner.

I stamped the polka dots from Texture Tiles 5 onto my banner and attached the butterfly. I stamped the sentiment from Love Wordfetti onto a scrap piece of white cardstock. I chose those words because I like having cards in my stash that can be used for anything.  I assembled the pieces as seen, glued the ladybug on and added some white string to finish off my card.

I know, I added something to the sketch by adding a strip with the words to it. It was the only way I could figure out how to add a sentiment. I do have an idea for another card that will follow it exactly.

 

For more cards made with the sketch check out the Facebook group throughout the month to be inspired. Why not create your own and enter it in the VIP group for a chance to win a gift code to Sweet n' Sassy Stamps. 

Until next time, I hope you have an awesome day!
