Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge

June 20, 2009 By Connie | 4 Comments

It’s time for another Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge…SSC104.  I love these sketch challenges and it sounds like a lot of you do, too!  I’m anxious to see your creations…lots of flexibility with the size of the front panel.  Don’t forget to link your SSC104 post to Mr. Linky…Selene gave an excellent tutorial on Stamping 411 on how to link to the individual post instead of your entire Blog.  That way we can find your Sketch Challenge card easier. 

I pulled out Rustic Rooster from my sad pile of retiring sets.  This is a Level 2 hostess set that will be going away soon.  (It isn’t too late to hold a workshop and get yours!)  I started with a base card of Sahara Sand.  Then I ran a Really Rust layer thru my Big Shot with the Texturz background.  I used my Really Rust pad to highlight the raised texture…kind of looks like woodgrain! 

For the focal piece, I stamped the background words with Creamy Caramel and then the Rooster with Basic Brown.  I pulled out my DUSTY Pastel chalks and colored him with various browns and rust.  I like how he turned out!  I need to remember to use those more often!  I matted the Very Vanilla on Chocolate Chip and then another mat of Sahara Sand.  It is popped off the background with dimensionals.  I used a strip of Manhattan Designer Paper across the top and matted it with Chocolate Chip.  Then I couldn’t resist using the NEW Modern Label punched from Really Rust and wrapped around the DSP.  I secured it with a Chocolate Chip Corduroy Button.  LOVE that punch!  It will be available on July 1st!

Have a wonderful weekend.  Stop by this afternoon for the Tour De Freaks Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing creations from some very talented Control Freak swappers. 

And…of course…check out what the others have done with the Stamping 411 sketch this week!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Great card, Connie! I love the textured layer treatment, very cool! We must have been channeling each other because I used this same stamp set for a class this morning! I’ll post it later this week!
