Sketch Challenge for April 22

I had another fun evening hosting Mystery Stamping last night. If you haven't already, I hope you'll join me next Tuesday and play along! You can always watch the replay as well. 

These are the cards that I made in preparation for Mystery Stamping.

The base is a piece of 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" cardstock scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.

On top of that is a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" cardstock.

The two strips of patterned paper are 1/2" x 4 3/4".

And the shape is any label, punch, or die. 
This is the card that started it all! I used the retired En Route stamp set and the retired Best Route DSP for this card. The card base and front are Blueberry Bushel, one of the 2018-20 In Colors. I tied the front with a piece of Whisper White Baker's twine. The greeting is stamped on Whisper White cardstock and punched with a 2" circle punch.

Next, I decided to see what would happen if I flipped the card so that it had a portrait orientation. I used the Parisian Beauty stamp set for the background and the Country Home stamp set for the greeting. I used Pool Party cardstock and ink for the background and the retired Schoolhouse DSP for the paper strips. The greeting was cut using the Stitched Shapes dies. I added Baker's Twine and sequins that were a Sale-A-Bration item this year.
Instead of doing tone on tone, I wanted to see what it would look like if I stamped multi-colored images on Whisper White cardstock. So, for this card, I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set in Rococo Rose and Soft Suede. The patterned paper is the Woven Threads DSP (current). I added a bow with the crinkled seam binding ribbon from the January-June mini catalog. The greeting is also from the To a Wild Rose stamp set, and it is stamped in Rococo Rose and cut with a Layering Circle die.

There are so many possibilities with a card sketch! Next, I wanted to try a card where the background was Designer Series Paper instead of stamped images. Here, I used the Come Sail Away DSP (current) on Night of Navy cardstock. The strips of patterned paper are from the same package of DSP. The greeting is from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set that was available during Sale-A-Bration. Behind it I added a twist of Linen Thread and I accented the front with some silver pearls.
Finally, I decided to go really crazy and use DSP and stamp the background. Once again, all of the patterned paper for this card is from the Come Sail Away DSP. I stamped the background with images from the retired Sea Street stamp set using Soft Suede ink. The octopus is also from this stamp set and I stamped him with Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with a die from the Stitched Shapes dies. I added a greeting from the retired Just Sayin' stamp set in Soft Suede. To tie it together, I added some Whisper White Baker's Twine and some Copper Stars. The stars were in the Holiday catalog, but they are still available and would work with so many images!

I hope this card sketch gets your creative juices flowing like it did for me! I'd love to see what you make from it. Post your creations over on the Facebook group!
