TRI-PANELED WITH BRANCH

Hi friends!

Playing along with this TRY A SKETCH ON TUESDAY challenge

(ends 8/30)

Hope it’s okay that I swapped the panels of color out for panels of different embossed patterns! 

 

SOME DETAILS

Three different folders were used to emboss the three panels to fit the design as shown. The notebook paper was enhanced with a bit of spiral punching along one edge. 

The branch with flowers was blended with distress inks, and highlighted with white gel pen and a few flat back rhinestones. 

Sentiment was die cut from textured pink card stock and mounted on the shadow cut from vellum.

*TIPS*

In order to raise up lettering with vellum, I like to cut two or three of the skinny letters from scrap white card stock, stack them, and apply on the underside of the vellum to give the whole sentiment height without anything showing through.

To color in skinny die cuts like this, I like to use a small blender brush to color it while it is still in the surrounding card stock on the die cutting pad after going through the die cutting machine. 

SUPPLIES

branch die - Memorybox #98470 Blooming Vine

sentiment dies - Spellbinders #S4-1312 Serenade Sentiments

embossing folders - notebook page -Sizzix, flowers - Cuttlebug, leaves - unknown

notebook spiral punch - EK Success

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.
