Sketch challenge card made using Stampin’ Up! supplies

May 6, 2015 By Michelle Last

I struggled to know which stamp set to use this week.  There are so many lovely stamps and items leaving our annual catalogue in the Stampin’ Up! retiring sale and have sold out already I found it hard to choose what to use!  I opted for Open Heart as I have only used this stamp once before and it deserved to get inky again.
Stampin Up Open Heart

I cut around the bird which is tricky for me as I don’t do much hand cutting but it was easier than I expected.
Stampin Up Open Heart

I grunged it up a little with my edge distresser and sponge but I distressed the sentiment more than expected as I had to remove the staples when I realised I had put the sentiment back to front!

This is the sketch
stamping&blogging sketch challenge 6.5.15

I changed it up slightly but I think it still echoes the sketch design.  Shall we go and see what the other design team members made using the same sketch?

    Lovely! It’s perfect for the theme of the card. A bit understated but I can see lots of work has gone into all that fabulous colouring! I think I might need to finally get this lovely set now!

    Woops – I just re-read my comment. I mean ‘understated’ as a compliment! You know – matching theme of card (removes foot from mouth …..).
