Hello, the Global Design Project have a new two-week sketch challenge to inspire you have the festive season. For my card I have used the Beautiful Thistle Bundle, which will be available to purchase when the new Mini Catalogue goes live on the 5th Jan.
A sketch is such a great jumping off point when you need a little inspiration with any stamp set or colours you may have on your desk.
Creating the background
- Stamp the main Thistle image randomly over the Basic White background
- Use a Blending Brush to add some Night of Navy Ink around the edges
- Splatter some Night of Navy Ink from the Dark Stampin’ Blend pen
- Add this layer to your card with some multipurpose glue
Adding the featured image
- Cut the largest square from the Stylish Shape Dies
- Stamp the Thistle image in Night of Navy Ink
- Colour the Evening Evergreen Ribbon with light Night of Navy Blends to create a Tartan look to this ribbon
- Add a loop of this ribbon to the back of the square die cut
- Tie around some linen thread into a bow
- Add this panel to the front of the card, using Dimensionals for depth
Completing the card
- Stamp out your chosen sentiments in Versamark and Heat Emboss in White. My sentiment is from a new Stamp Set called Sentimental Park (available 5th Jan 2023)
- Cut out and add to your card front
- Complete the card with some Enamel Dots (also, available 5th Jan 2023)
