So, are you up for the challenge? Let's see what you can create with this sketch. Wanna see mine?










Here's my finished sketch card. This card turned out to be a little more busy than the sketch, but I really love how all the colors blended together. I think the purples are so pretty!

To make this card, I first stamped the image & colored it with pencils and blended the colors with Gamsol. I matted the image first with dark purple cardstock, and then again with light purple cardstock. I added the polka-dot ribbon to the corners and then punched out dark purple cardstock using the word window punch. I cut it in half, adhered it to the lower right space, and added a light purple brad to the center of it.






Next, I created the card base from dark purple cardstock and layered it horizontally with light purple paper. I cut the polka dot paper to fit over the light purple paper leaving a slight matted border.

On the left side of the card, I adhered 2 light purple ribbons, side-by-side vertically, and added the dark purple ribbon over the top of the seam where the 2 ribbons met. I layered a light purple Prima flower with a dark purple one and added a light purple brad to the center & adhered it in the middle of the ribbons.

I then attached the matted image to the right side of the card leaving a larger border at the bottom. In the lover border I used Versamark ink to stamp "Happy Birthday" using white embossing powder & heat set it.

There you have it--My second Sketch Wednesday card!

Now...What's yours look like? I'll be looking forward to seeing it!

Happy Card Making!

Smiles,
Jennifer
