Sketch Challenge - Crafty Collaborations August 2021 Challenge

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

Today features a Crafty Challenge using the below Sketch as a guide to designing/creating a project. 

Ironically this sketch is pretty close to a Mystery Card Challenge our Team recently participated in using the following details. 

    STAMP/BUNDLE: choose a stamp set for a sentiment.
    

    PAPER:
        ___Card base: half sheet of cardstock
        ___DSP - pattern #1 - TWO of 1 3/4” x 1 3/4”
        ___DSP - pattern #2 - TWO of 1 3/4” x 3”
        ___Coordinating color cardstock- 4” x 5 1/4”
        ___white/vanilla for sentiment (sized to fit sentiment)
        ___coordinating color to layer sentiment

PUNCH/DIES: cut sentiment with label dies or punches (optional).

INK: to match

OTHER: Ribbon/Trim, Embellishment jewels/dots - optional

TOOLS: bone folder, scissors and adhesive

I choose the new Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper, a new favorite of mine. I layered this on Soft Seafoam, a color I do not use often. This was attached to a card base of Misty Moonlight. I chose the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes set using Misty Moonlight Ink, die cut with a die from the Tasteful Labelse. I layered this onto the Be Dazzling paper from Sale-A-Bration and added a few basic Rhinestones. 

As you can see the strips of Designer Series Paper are not symmetrical/same size as the sketch sample shows, but the design is in keeping with the general guide of the sketch. 

I thought this was such an easy and quick card to make, I CASE'd (Cope And Share Everything) another from Beverly Jackson, a demonstrator on our team. 

I recently purchased the Color & Contour Bundle and decided to use it for the above card. The Designer Seires paper is Bloom Where Your Planted. Beverly used this in her card and I really liked the two selections in the horizontal layout. In this card, I had to make my strips a tad smaller (1 1/2 x 2 3/4; 1 1/2 x 1 1/2) This was so they would fit better on the largest die cut I used from the bundle with Cinnamon Cider card stock. I then added a layer of Petal Pink cardstock just peeking through the scallops in the die cut. The base layer is Cajun Craze cardstock. I stamped the images and sentiment in Cajun craze and added petal pink ink to the petals along with a touch of crushed curry using the markers to give some dimension to the florals. Lastly, I added Wink of Stella to the flowers and Champagne Rhinestones. I love how this card turned out. I am definitely going to enjoy playing more with this Color & Contours Bundle!! 

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you Give this sketch a try and find more awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.
