paper craft crew challenge #383

Hello crafty friends! Let’s kick off July with a fun sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew!

What a great sketch! So many possibilities for shapes in the corner. I like all of the detail in the corner, so I decided to stay pretty true to the sketch.

I started with a sheet of Canson Bristol Smooth paper. It is water friendly, so it was easy to add the watercolor wash swatches. I was kind of feeling a neon groove, so I used Granny Apple Green, Magenta madness and Bermuda Bay. Once it was fully dry, I added some spatters with my black marker. The sentiment, from the new Best Year stamp set, is embossed in white on black card stock and punched out with the new Postage punch from Stampin’ up!

A fun bright way to cheer for someone. I’d love to see your take on this sketch. Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and play along! You’ve got two weeks to join in for this challenge, so give it a try!

paper craft crew challenge #381

Time for this week’s challenge from the Paper Craft Crew! We have another great card sketch to inspire your creativity.

I decided to play with some of the new In colors from Stampin’ Up! – Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee – and the new Tasteful Touches stamp set.

I love the softness of the flower and feather images against the different geometric patterns. Be sure to head over to the Papercraft Crew blog and check out the rest of the Design team’s project and then take part in the challenge yourself!

new level of wonderful

Hello crafty friends! Do you ever feel like your creativity has run off no where to be found? I think we all have those moments. Playing along with a challenge is a fun way to get things flowing. Speaking of a challenge…

Paper Craft Crew Challenges has a new challenge out. This week it’s a fun sketch to work with.

Card sketches are a great way to jumpstart your creativity. You can create the sketch exactly as it is, or use it a starting point and let your creativity take over. Here is my take on this sketch.

I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers set. The flower is colored with Stampin’ Blends markers. This card also uses two of the new In Colors the three little enamel dots are Bumble Bee – a gorgeous yellow, and the scalloped frame is Misty Moonlight – a lovely blue. I really like this sentiment. It could be used for many occasions, but I think it is a great way to wish someone a Happy Birthday!

I hope you will join in and play along with this fun sketch. Then head over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and link your card to share with the crew.
