Here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge. I created this pretty fall background using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and blending 3 different ink colors with the mask.
The sketch is from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This was an easy one for me.
Tips & Instructions
Crushed Curry Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Tape the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask over the Basic White Layer. Use Blending Brushes to add ink to the layer. I started at the bottom with Cherry Cobbler, then Calypso Coral and the top area with Crushed Curry.
Remove the mask. You can rinse it off with water and let it dry to use again for another project.
Cut the layer into 3 pieces. I cut the top at 1 1/4, the second at 1 1/2 and the bottom at 2 3/8. Adhere the pieces to another 5 1/4 x 4 Basic White Layer leaving a small gap between each piece. Adhere layer to card base.
Basic White scrap - cut the second largest tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies.
Use a Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends to splatter ink on the tag. You can use any of the colors and can use a Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Marker.
Stamp a leaf with Crushed Curry Ink on a scrap of Basic White, stamping off on scrap paper to get a lighter shade. Cut with the coordinating die.
Cut the leaf veins from a piece of Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper and adhere to the leaf. Adhere leaf to tag and then adhere the tag to the card with Dimensionals.
Tie a bow with a piece of Copper Ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.
On a 5/8 strip of Basic White, stamp sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with Copper Embossing Powder. Adhere to card with Dimensionals.
Add some Copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
Here’s a close-up of the card. You can use whatever fall colors you want!
On the inside Layer I added a few leaves that I cut from Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry using the Autumn Leaves Dies.
