Card Sketch Challenge

For this month, I took a challenge put forth by one of my fellow TAC angels. She provided us with this sketch:

The rules were easy. If you used printed paper they had to be exclusive to The Angel Company, as did all stamp sets. Solid colored cardstock and embellishments could be from anywhere. This is what I came up with:

Here is another view of the same card, so that you can see how it was folded:

 

 

Here are the items that I used:

Sunflowers T-3292
Kraft cardstock (TAC)
golden yellow cardstock (not TAC)

Blue cardstock (not TAC)

Versamark stamp pad (TAC)

Chalks

Transcendence Embossing Powder (TAC)

Tropical Mini Brads (TAC)

Glossy Accents (TAC)

To create the main image of the card, I stamped the image using my Versamark, and then I used a q-tip and tapped the chalk along the image to create the color, then did some light blending, and used a chalk eraser to clean up the edges of the image. I then applied Glossy accents to create dew drops.

To create a pattern on the yellow, I simply stamped some sunflowers and embossed them with Transcendence Powder.

First Post

The first post of my blog. It is very much a work in progress. I just recently joined up with The Angel Company to support my hobby and to help fellow card makers and scrapbookers make beautiful mementos that help spread love and joy.

I will use this blog to share with you the monthly specials and promotions that The Angel Company has, as well as tips, tricks, and techniques that I learn and want to share. I will also post cards and scrapbook pages that I create. I will even sometimes give you step by step instructions so you can make things right along with me.


As always, with angel hugs
