Sketch N Scrap Guest Card Designer

I am so excited today to share with my readers that I am the Guest Card Designer for Sketch N Scrap this month!!  I was provided the two sketches a while ago, so I have had plenty of time to play with these ideas!  I just love this card!  Although it took some effort to come to fruition. 

Here's the sketch from Sketch n Scrap. 

 I started with idea of duct tape and a masculine card.  I had seen the "Diamond Plate" embossing folder but never purchased it.  I thought what a wonderful background this would make with my duct tape banners.  Only problem, I could not find it at Michael's or Hobby Lobby.  Light bulb!  Maybe my local stamp/scrapbook store would have it!  I called up Stamping Buddies and sure enough she had it!  So I made the drive (a little further than the box stores but not too bad) to purchase my desired embossing folder.  You know I found several items to purchase while I was there and she loaned me a stamp set to complete another project.  I returned that set in two weeks and you know I found more stuff on that trip, too!  I do love supporting my LSS!  This last visit I ordered an awesome stamp and die set, I can't wait til it comes in!!

I also need to show her my cards that I made.  This particular card uses Ranger adhesive backed foil but all the rest use a brushed silver card stock I found at Tuesday Morning during my trip to Georgia.  Yes, the Dalton, GA Tuesday Morning had a plethery of wonderful papers!  I also found a package of Artic Gold that I desparately needed LAST year.  I know I will find another great project for it!

Crazy view is kind of cool!  You can see a close up of the awesome sentiment I just recently purchased at The Stampaway convention from Rubber Cottage. I used my favorite stamping technique embossing!  It makes almost all images look so much better.  I would say I emboss 75% of my images.

Ingredients:

 

Rubber Cottage sentiment stamp

Ranger Silver Fine Detail embossing powder

Duct tape
