Something a bit different today. For the sketch from Stamping&Blogging I was struggling to incorporate the banner on the left. Everything I tried just did not look right. I had the new blendabilities from Stampin Up on my desk and I really need to practice so I stamped a new hostess set called I Like You and set to work. With mixed results let me tell you! Colouring does not come natural to me, some results have been great and some not so great but I am going to keep practising, as after all I cannot expect to be as good as people who have been using alcohol markers for years can I?
I could not resist using on the ones I practiced on in the inside of the card. And to cover up my not so good colouring I used Gorgeous grunge :0) You have got to have that set, it works for so many different cards!
So here is the sketch –
So lets go on over to the design team members to see what they have also made with the same sketch…
