It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! We have a fun sketch challenge this week!

ARTISAN SKETCHED GARDEN
I had SO many different ideas on how to make my card using this card…you’ll probably be seeing a few of them in future posts! What a great sketch! On this card I let the DSP do ALL the work!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Strawberry Slush cardstock was added to the front.
- The greeting was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink in the upper right corner.
- Three different Artisan Sketched Garden DSP patterns were cut 1-1/2 x 4, then torn across the top and bottom, then layered on the front leaving a small space of Strawberry Slush along the bottom.
- A 1-1/2 x 2-1/2 piece of Cloud Cover cardstock was added to the upper left corner.
- One of the vases from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP was hand-cut and colored with Strawberry Slush, Cloud Cover and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends, then added to the rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Shimmering Dots were added to the background.

Love how dramatic this DSP is on this card! OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
