March 2023 Stick it Down Card Sketch Challenge

 Excited for March sketch reveal and my take on it. Took several days to pull together as I knew I wanted "rainbow" but other then that I wasn't sure. I LOVE how it turned out!

Here's the Sketch AND....

 

 

Here is my take!

First I started with a stencil from Pink Fresh Studio's called Geo Arch and using the following colors created a wonderful base directly on the card- Distress Oxides in Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Uncharted Mariner, Seedless Perserves.

I then cut out a panel from Pink Fresh Stitched Scallop Rectangle, backed it with 29lb vellum (as I wanted to still see the design behind) and popped it up on foam tape to create a shaker element.

I used dies from Concord & 9th Oh Hey You stamp and dies set; Hero Arts YAY! Birthday Bundle; Woodware Bog Bubble Craft Die and WR Memory Keepers 1" and 5/8" circle punch for the other elements.

With so much color going on in the backgroun I decided to leave some elements as Black and White which I loved in the end.

Stamped a big "HOORAY"  on the inside with some washi tape and also used the same washi to decorate the envelope a tad.

February 2023 Stick It Down Card Sketch Challenge

  

Love is in the air!

 

 I loved creating from this months sketch! I dug out all my dies that would help and I made 2 cards!

This one had a few extra steps but so worth the effort. First I cut out the hearts using a stitched heart in two sizes for the top piece. For the bottom piece I white heat embossed a back ground word stamp, making sure to mask off the small heart spaces and then using 3 shades of distress oxide ink (spun sugar, worn lipstick and picked raspberry, I blended the colors down the page. Using a slightly damp cloth I wiped off the ink from the embossed writing. I then attached the top piece to the bottom and popped up the smaller heart using pop dots. The 2 leaves were cut from two different types of silver foil and the love die using black card stock. Added a stamped "you" to the small heart. Add a few dots cut out from the left over glimmer card stock.

Bonus Card

Using a Gina K heart background die I cut out of white card stock and attached to a slightly larger Black card stock. Using a Spellbinder heart die the different sections were rain bowed colored and popped up. Using another die I cut out the phrase "to the moon and back" from back and adhered it to a postage stamped rectangle die. Stamped the word "you" in the bottom section of the heart.

January 2023 Stick it Down Card Sketch Challenge

  

With so many new goodies from Santa I ended up using a combination of new and old to create my take on this month's sketch.

To create this mini slimline easel card I used saved backgrounds from some jelly printing sessions, Letter, boarder dies and stamps from my stash, Pink Fresh Celebrate washi tape balloons that I lined on white card stock and cut out with the matching dies. Add some messy stitching with black thread and we have a very unique and cute Birthday card. It all started with the sketch to get the creative juices flowing! Can't wait to see what you create.
