Sketch Saturday - Lovely You

I love the look of a tone on tone card, especially with the Gray Granite patterns in the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.

This is the sketch I used for today’s card. It’s another CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge from Splitcoaststampers. It’s so fun doing these sketch challenges; t really pushes me outside my comfort zone.

The Lovely You Stamp Set has such great sentiments and the mix of print and script fonts are so pretty.

Tips & Instructions

• Gray Granite Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (gray pattern) - 5 3/8 x 4 1/8, adhere to card base

• Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (floral pattern) - 5 x 2 1/2

• Gray Granite Strips - one is 5 x 1/8 and the other is 5 x 1/2, adhere for floral pattern and then adhere to card

On the inside stamp sentiment, flowers and leaves with Gray Granite Ink. I stamped off twice with the leaves before stamping to get a lighter color. Stamping off means you stamp on scrap to pull off the first layer of ink giving you a lighter shade. Doing this a second time gives you an even lighter shade.
