Sketch N Scrap Guest Card Designer

Sketch-N-Scrap

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
Stampin Up Modern label punch
Duct tape
Chain
Darice Diamond plate embossing folder
Ranger adhesive back foil
Brushed silver card stock
Black card stock
