Today I have a the card I made for a sketch challenge swap I've participated in with some of my demonstrator friends. Here is the sketch we were given:
You can see that's it's pretty simple. The challenge itself comes in taking this simple design and making it yours. Here's what I came up with:
I used Free As A Bird to create this card. The base is a sheet of whisper white cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and folded to become 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". A piece of basic black cut to 4" x 2 1/4" was then stamped with the flowers using Versamark ink and heat embossed in white. A real red rectangle was created using a die cutting machine and the stitched rectangle dies. The bird image from Free As a Bird is stamped in memento ink on whisper white and then I free-handed the plume on top of his head to make him look like a cardinal. He's coloured using real red and grey granite stampin' blends. The image and the matte are then cut out using the stitched shape dies. A piece of real red ribbon and some rhinestones finish it off nicely.
I think it turned out well; what do you think?
