Celebrate Baby - CTS135

 

It feels good getting back in the swing of things... card-making, scrapbooking and sketch challenges! I guess, I realize, I have missed it all! =)

Well, I'm back and hope to be creating more cards and scrapbook pages for your enjoyment!

Here is a a card I created using the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge (CTS135).  You may see their challenge and all the cards created with it here:

Thanks for a lovely sketch!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets - Just Celebrate, Something to Celebrate

Ink - Marina Mist, blendabilities (skin tone)

Paper - Marina Mist, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White

Accessories - Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots TIEF, checkered ribbon

Certain Belief - SQ36

 




I wanted to try the tap dancing technique that was demonstrated in the April issue of the Stampin' Success magazine. Here are the instructions for this technique (using my card as the example).
1. Ink Certainly Celery (Classic Stamp pad) on the Just Believe Stamp set.
2. Take the brush side of the Soft Suede marker, and tap the side of the brush to the stamp/or color parts/or draw lines - which is what I had done here.
3. I wiped off the color on the flowers with a kleenex/paper towel, so that I could color them in with a Pink Pirouette marker.
4. Breathe on stamp to re-moisten the ink.
5. Stamp image on the paper.

I incorporated the Stampin Queen's Sketch Challenge (SQSC36) into this card as well. You can see the cards created with this sketch here: http://gettincrafty.typepad.com/stampin_queens_sketch_cha/2012/04/sqsc-36.html
