Birthday Sketch Challenge

Birthday Sketch Challenge

Ian Potter from Stampin' FOR ALL Facebook group set the Wednesday 13th June 2018 Sketch Challenge as a Birthday Sketch Challenge (as it was his birthday).  The sketch was as follows:

My entry for the challenge is photographed below:

To recreate my card initially you will need four animal characters.  These are Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Characters (the Koala, the large Monkey, the Otter and the Zebra).  They are die cut out of card stock scraps and adhered to a piece of thin paper with wet glue.  

The Vanilla card base measured (5 3/4 x 4 1/8") and the patterned paper was (5 5/8 x 4") and it was glued straight to the card base front using double sided tape.  Then cut 4 pieces of cream card stock measuring (2 3/8 x 1 3/4").  The cream die cut frames I had already in my craft stash but they after the cream card stock was adhered to the patterned paper the frames were adhered to the card stock using square foam pads.  The Picture Book Animals were adhered inside the frames using square foam pads as well.  

Finally the (2 x 2") die cut yellow card stock was also from my craft stash.  I used an embossing buddy on this before stamping the sentiment "from all of us" in blue pigment ink and covering this with sparkling clear embossing powder.  This was heat set and then a blue ribbon was tied in a knot around the bottom part of the die cut shape.  The shape was adhered to the centre of the card using square foam adhesive pieces.  

This completed the card project, but I then stamped the sentiment "Happy Mail" onto the front of the envelope along with the image of the duckling delivering the mail so that the recipient of this card would know it was not a bill!

Thank you for coming to see this blog page, if you have enjoyed the project please let me know through giving me some feedback on this blog thank you.

Till next time, keep crafting!
