Oh boy, I totally forgot to post my card for MaryJo’s Sketch Challenge yesterday…
But better a day late, than not at all, right?!
This week’s sketch was this:
And my late card:
As you can see, I am still on the color combo “Marina Mist with Pear Pizzazz” kick… I may just have to call this one my favorite combo… for now :-)
I needed an Anniversary card for our dear neighbors, so I used the stamp set “Perfect Punches” and inked up the stamp that is in the shape of the modern label punch, but I used a Marker and omitted the “Congratulations” in the center. That way I was able to stamp the sentiment I needed…
Tip of the day: Before you disregard some stamps because they don’t have the correct greeting… look at them again and ask yourself if you can use a Marker for just the “frame”?!
Make sure to check out MaryJo's Blog to see what the other participants came up with...
Love what you did with the sketch!! Adorable!
ReplyDeletelike this sketch & totally get the stamp "alteration" - I've also used a marker or covered up words on a stamp with scotch tape before inking to alter an image a bit, makes it seem that much more useful to "re-invent" the same stamp! tfs. look forward to more of your samples!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I just LOVE Marina Mist too :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is a fabulous color combo. I will be trying that one out soon. Your card is beautiful, thanks so much for playing along!
