Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #28
Today I have a fun card sketch for you! Post your take on the SNS blog for a chance to win prizes!
For my card I used some of my scraps, stitching them together with my sewing machine. I've also started playing around with watercolor and wanted to incorporate that into the design.
I took a piece of watercolor paper and stamped the deer image onto it with archival ink.
After I stamped one, I decided I wanted to add the butterfly so I stamped another deer. I painted both so I'm sure the other guy will show up in a project later.
Here is a close up of the painted deer I used on the card. I fussy cut him out and added pop dots to him so he pops off the page just a tad.
Thanks for coming in!

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge # 59
Check out this fun sketch! I had a lot of fun with this one. I'd love to see what you do with it as well. Upload your layout to the Sketch-N-Scrap blog today!
I was flipping through a Colorbok paper pad I had and picked out some fun bright papers for this layout. I pieced the main papers together, using my cri cut to cut the large medallion in the center.
I played around with stamps and embossing to create some matching embellishments. The green banner is the same paper as the bottom, I just stamped it with green folk art paint then added some mustard seed ink to it to alter the color of the paper slightly. For the stars and polka dot banner, I embossed the dots with clear embossing powder then colored the white card stock with distress inks.
My title was designed in Illustrator and cut out with my cri cut. I left the title white. It pops of the paper and enhances the white border around the photos.
Items I used in this layout:
Colorbok • Patter Pack • 12x12 Papers
Card Stock • Lime Green
Card Stock • White
Card Stock • Light Blue
Folk Art • Acrylic Paint • Forest Moss
Paper Studios • 2" Star Punch
My Stash • Stamp • Numbers
