CITYSCAPE HEART

 hello!

Playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. 


The background was made using my faux watercolor technique. I cut the heart from the background, and then used the background as the cardfront base. For the border on the white cardstock I used a Scor-Pal to add a raised line around each straight edge. This panel was then popped up on a scrap of foam.


SUPPLIES
buildings stamp - Stampendous Cityscape
sentiment stamp - Northwoods Rubber Stamps Cool Dot Wish You Were Here
heart die - Stampin' Up! Framelits Hearts #125599
holeless sequins - Gina K. Designs 
epoxy heart sticker - The Paper Studio

SKETCH CHALLENGE x2

 hello!

I was thrilled to find this sweet little sketch challenge to play along with this week! Such a perfect layout for using up all sorts of leftover scrap card stock and DP. They mentioned using Stampin’ Up! products and I was happy to go for it, though I’m guessing most items are probably retired by now. But as we know in cardmaking world, substitutions are at worst a slight delay and at best a stroke of genius! 

Paper Craft Crew



Image was colored in with colored pencils, mostly Prismacolor. I used a little striped blue & white cotton twine by Jillibean Soup, and some white enamel dots from Altenew. Flags and sentiment were fussycut.
