Create A Smile "Sketch" Challenge!!

Welcome back!  Today we start a new challenge over at Create A Smile Stamps!!  It's a sketch challenge this time around which was truly a challenge for me!!

My brain was definitely challenged with this one but that's the point, right?? Get out of your comfort zone with layouts and just go for it!!  

I followed the sketch almost to a tee except for making mine a landscape card.

I've been on a bit of a kick with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers lately so that's what I chose as my colouring medium!  All these images as well as the sentiment are from the new Stamping Friends set!  This set is beyond cute and just perfect for us crafters!!

I fussy cut each image and placed them onto a circle die cut which I then layered onto a scalloped circle die cut.  For the arch or rounded bottom part of the sketch, I used the Blossom Stencil and Peacock Feather Distress Ink, which was a perfect match for the teal Zig marker!!

I added some shimmer to the teal areas on the images and rounded the top 2 corners of the card base. I struggled with NOT adding any clear sequins on this :)

I hope you'll play along with us for the next 2 weeks!! If you've never used Create A Smile Stamps, I highly encourage you to check them out. They are super high quality not to mention unique and so cute!!  They are available at Simon Says Stamp and Butterfly Reflections Ink (these are not affiliate links) but don't be afraid to order directly from them. International shipping is quick and cheap!!

Remember, there's an awesome prize to be won if you are the winner!!

Thanks for stopping in!!  See you soon!
