Hello!
For today’s post, I’m participating in the Freshly Made Sketches #596 challenge. Every once in a while I need some inspiration to get me going especially since I don’t have my own space right now until my house is built. I’m working out of containers and being the organized person I am, that in itself is a challenge! Although I don’t have the room to have everything in its own place, I am grateful that I can still create.
Here’s the challenge sketch.
Although I really like the clean look, I don’t consider myself a clean stamper that leaves lots of white space so I’m challenging myself.
I’ve been wanting to make a card with the Bird’s Eye View since I got it and this was the perfect challenge for it. This is a fun set to play with using it in various ways using the eye glasses, birds, books, leaves and branches.
Card Details
I did some masking with the books and owl using the masking paper. An alternative would’ve been to simply use the stencil first then fussy cut the books. Here are the details to the card.
- Thick White cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
- White cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic Black cardstock 2″ x 4″ for bottom; 1-5/8″ x 5/8″ sentiment
- Owl, glasses and books were stamped with Memento Black ink
- Books colored with watercolor pencils and blender pen – Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy
- Owl colored with Light & Dark Crumb Cake blends
- Books and owl were masked and then I sponged memento black ink over the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask. (You can see other cards with this stencil here, here and here.)
- Sentiment was stamped with VersaMark, embossed with white embossing powder, heat set and popped with dimensionals.
