Card Patterns #16

Saturday, May 23, 2009

Hello hello to another Card Patterns sketch, we're up to number #16. Here's today's fantastic sketch@! And it's a fun one to play with if you ask me ;) I got my hands on the new October Afternoon 'Cherry Hill' collection, can i say cute!?!? My faves are the ones I used for my card below as well as the text one & pretty much a majority of them in the paper pack *lol* Here's my take on the sketch:

The scallops & squares are die cut using nestabilities dies and my cuttlebug machine & then layered with dimensionals. I did double layering ie. square, square scallop, square, square scallop because the image was pretty small ( i forgot to resize before printing) and I wanted it to be the focal point. The whole card is machine stitched around the border and the sentiment is from Papertreyink's 'Boards & Beams' stamp set on a 'double ended tags' nestabilities die cut; sponged on the edges.

The digital stamp image is coloured in with Copic Markers, here's a close up look:


Here are the copics I use to colour in the digital stamp:
The whole design team were treated this week by our sponsor Digi Shack and had the privileged of working with their adorable digital stamps! They're giving away 2 digi images to 1 random winner! As well as the usual guest designer spot up for grabs :)


Good luck, and have fun!!

Lotsa love Fiona.
