As the sketch challenges enter a new month at Skipping Stones Design, so does the sketch artist and guest designers. Cristina has designed this fabulously clean and simple sketch for this week's challenge that offers up many possibilities...
My card features a partial frame image and sentiment from the classical set Sentiment Frames and a single pearl for an accent. I first stamped the frame onto the solid cardstock, then onto an unsecured patterned paper panel, matched them and adhered the patterned paper with dimensionals to the cardstock base.
Check out the details and prize over on the Skipping Stones Design blog, as well as great samples from the regular team and our guest designers, Cristina, Tammy, Andrea and Karen.
Supplies:
Cardstock: (White) OfficeMax, (Lavender Lace) SU
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey
Stamps: (Sentiment Frames) Skipping Stones Design
Ink: (Walnut Stain Distress) Ranger
Embellishment: (Purple Pearl) Queen & Co.
