Sorry this is a few days late. I would like to share my Sketch-It Saturday with Unscripted Sketches project using this week's sketch #196. I started out challenging myself to a quick and easy 15 minute card... easy-peasy - right? WRONG!
My intentions were great and right on schedule until I decided I wanted to make my stamped "CELEBRATE" banner wavy and dimensional. Messing about with this sent me on a tangent of "utter perfection" making each wave just right with 3-D dots. This just cracked me up!

**A TIP** rub ink directly onto embossing folder for subtle color variation. I rubbed a light aqua blue dye ink onto my embossing folder before running my light blue paper through my Cuttlebug. Instant patterned paper!!!
I hand-colored just the letters on my "Celebrate #12390" stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps! with a Blue Marvy Brush Marker, then stamped onto a darker blue cardstock, trimmed to a banner shape. Then the fussing began to make my banner dimensional and "just right". I finished off the sketch with three sprial wire-beaded stickers by EK Success {from my sticker stash}.
Another fun birthday card is ready to send!

ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beautiful website! Love it! You are so talented! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your creative inspiration
ReplyDeleteLots of ideas... I'm usually on the computer (all digital) but recently started a scrapbook with my wife. I'll try anything creative.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with this sketch, Susan. I really appreciate the tip about rubbing into into the embossing folder. How are you doing that exactly?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and question Theresa! For this project - I rubbed the ink pad directly onto the embossing folder and then placed paper in and ran through my cuttlebug. For a watercolor variation, mist with water before placing paper into folder and embossing {this is a handy one-step way to clean the ink off also}.
