Sketch Challenge ODBDSLC230

     Thanks so much for stopping by. Today, I have an Easter card for the Sketch Challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs.

     Yes, I know pastels are the traditional color for Easter cards. But, the rebel in me came out to play today. So, here is a teal and cranberry Easter card. Please note that the pink diamonds are pastel-ish. LOL        

     I used a stamp from the Earth Verses (F494) collection from ODBD to make my card.

     Now, here's the sketch we had to work with this week and the link to play along with us. http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/odbdslc230-sketch-challenge.html

 

       I pray that you and your family have a wonderful Easter season as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior.  

    May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,

Pamela



DCWV February Card Sketch Challenge

     Thanks for stopping in! Hope you are having a fun day.
     Today, I have a card for DCWV's February Card Sketch Challenge.

     I used DCWV's The Painted Petals Stack to make this card. I just love the colors in the stack like these beautiful watercolored teals and purples - a kind of boysenberry. Actually, I used ColorBox's boysenberry pigment, which matches perfectly, to heat emboss the sentiment. And, don't you just love the sentiment!?! It's from Fiskars' Friends Forever Quotes collection.

     I love the vertical and horizontal strips in this month's sketch. The sketch gave us lots of room to play around and make it our own. To begin, I picked one of the lighter shades of the watercolored stock and trimmed it to fit my card base. I heat-embossed the sentiment on the panel then cut various size and shaped strips from coordinating sheets from the stack and adhered them to the panel. I punched a few fronds (Martha Stewart) and added pearls and flowers. Then, I mounted the panel to my card with foam tape.

     Here's our inspiration sketch. 

     This was a fun sketch to work with. Does it spark an idea for you? There's still time to get a card in. The deadline this month is 2/26/13. Here's the URL with all the details. http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2013/02/february-stack-holic-template-challenge.html
I will be looking forward to seeing your creations!
