Sketch Saturday week #392

bright birthday

• Archival ink
• tim holtz ink pad - salty ocean, shaded lilac, barn door, spiced marmalade, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn
• SU! - 'crazy about you' stamps and 'hello you' thinlits
• sekura black micron pen

 

I decided to add a splash of colour to this simple sketch by inking a card blank and some cardstock with rainbow colours using tim holtz distress ink pads. I die cut the 'happy' sentiment from the inked cardstock and added it to a white mat, stamped with the 'birthday' sentiment. For added detail, I created a hand drawn stitch border around the mat and glued this onto the inked card blank.

birthday bear...

• my favourite things- birthday bears (stamps & dies)
• memento tuxedo black ink pad
• Neenah classic crest cardstock

• DCWV fresh floral 12x12" paper stack
• wink of stella- clear
• sakura black glaze pen

I cut mat and layers of my patterned paper and white cardstock. I stamped the main mat with the bear and added the balloon in the hand. I coloured the image with copics and used wink of stella to sparkle the balloon and the glaze pen to add a shine to the eye and nose. I stamped the other mat with the sentiment and added some more glitter. I then glued down all the mats and layers onto the card following the sketch.

I 2-step stamped the flowers on a mat of cardstock and glued this to the card blank. I stamped my greeting and die cut it into a circle, then matted this on to a scallop circle.

for the inside of my card I cut a piece of cardstock to fit and stamped a flower in the bottom corner. I stamped my sentiment and added a final touch of glitter over the sentiment.
