Stampin' Up! Embraced with Love ~ Sketch Saturday

Hellooo! Welcome to my blog.  Today's card was created for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #765, which is to choose a sketch from the Sketch Saturday Archives.  The optional twist for this week's challenge is to choose a sketch from 2014.  Unfortunately, I once again forgot to look at that part ahead of time and ended up choosing #627 from September 12, 2020.

 

I love simple sketches like this one!  They are perfect to get your creative juices flowing!  You can keep them clean and simple, or really jazz them up.  For this one, I kept it pretty simple.

It's always so nice to just sit and color a stamped image.  For this one, I chose to use Stampin' Blends, which are Stampin' Up!'s alcohol markers.  They are easy to color with and blend beautifully.  After putting my card together, I decided that it needed a bit more of something.  So, I simply stamped my image again on a small piece of Basic White Cardstock, colored it and fussy cut the image.  I love how it looks popped up over the first image.  

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  Which sketch will you chose to as your inspiration this week?  Will you try more than one?  I do hope you will share with us over on the Sketch Saturday Challenge Post.  We love to be inspired by you, too!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves ~ Sketch Saturday

 

Hello & welcome!  Today's card was created for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #764.  This is the first day of the challenge and you have two weeks to play along.  The optional twist for this card challenge is to twist or distress something.  I STILL usually forget to check to see what the optional twist is before I start creating.

For this sketch, in this season, I thought the Autumn Leaves stamps & dies were pretty perfect.  I started by adhering a piece of Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper to my Copper Clay card base.  I love the rich tones in this paper!

I thought about stamping the leaves, but decided using the coordinating dies worked better for this card.  What do you think? 

This is a super layout that will lend itself well to all seasons and many stamps/dies!  I hope you will play along with us and share your creation over on the Sketch Saturday Blog Post for this sketch.

Happy Stamping!
