Sketch Frenzy Friday--More My Digital Studio

Hi Stampers!

It's time once again for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  Our group of designers is blessed with lots of talent and today we are creating based on this sketch by Elizabeth Harris:
Isn't this a cute design?  Sometimes I run out of time to stamp, and I try to show my take on the design in My Digital Studio.  Here's what I created:
I LOVE the Watercolor Wonder DSP, even the digital version.  Along with the DSP, I used digital burlap ribbon and digital pearls which I recolored in Daffodil Delight. 

Hope you like my card today.  Now go over to our Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out what the other designers created.  And while you're there, add your own creation using the InLinkz tool.  We love to see what you create.

Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 04-18-14 A Little Vintage, maybe?


Hi Stampers:

It's Friday again and time for our awesome Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I am your fearless designer this week, and here is my sketch:

And here is my creation:
This is a combination of cut card stock and two card kits.  The card base is Whisper White, the next layer is Bermuda Bay, embossed with the hexagon embossing folder, and the narrow strip is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Chevron embossing folder.  The flag, heart, button, and baker's twine are from the Happenings Card Kit, and the sentiment is a stamp from the Everyday Occasions Card Kit.  I stamped it with Stazon Jet Black ink before embossing the card stock.  The sponging was done in Soft Suede, and that's why I think the whole card is rather "vintage-y!"

Check out the other designer creations on our blog, Sketch Frenzy FridayAnd please add your own creation.  We'd love to see what you create!


Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 04-04-14 Gleam & Gold

Hi Stampers!

Happy Friday, everyone!  Time once again for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge, and we have a really good one for you this week!  Here's the sketch from Elizabeth Harris:


And here is my interpretation:
As you can tell my take on the sketch is VERY loose!  This card is also a direct case of a swap card that I received in a swap with other demonstrators.  This card has some sparkle and gleam with some individual sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Baker's Twine, Goldm and Gold Foil Paper. I also used Very Vanilla and Calypso Coral card stock, and Retro Fresh DSP.  The stamp set is Happy Congratulations from the Celebrate the Everyday spring catalog.

Sketch Frenzy Friday 03-07-14 Almost Monochromatic

Hi Stampers:

Well, it's been a while since I posted for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  If you missed me, I'm sorry.  Let me just say that February was a horrible month for me, but I am back and ready to entertain you with a new SFF post.  Our sketch this week was created by  Marisol:

And here is my creation based on the sketch:

As I said at the top, this is almost a monochromatic look.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and cut it at 4-14' X 11'.  I cut another piece of Crisp Cantaloupe 4' X 5-14' and used that piece for may stamping and embellishments.  The Crisp Cantaloupe thick bakers' twine and the cork flowers are part of the Sweet Sorbet Accessories that are a FREE item with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration. I love that the flowers are self-stick--makes it easy to just pop them on the card. I also used another FREE SAB item--the Petal Parade stamp set--and stamped the uneven scallops border accent in Early Espresso.  The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials, and is also stamped in Early Espresso.  After stamping and embellishing I mounted the piece of Crisp Cantaloupe with dimensionals onto the base card.  I like this layered monochrome look.

I'll bet you'd like to see what the other designers created!  Just hop over to the Sketch Frenzy Friday Blog and check them out!  And don't forget to join us!  We love to see what you create from our sketches!

Enjoy!
