Thanks to everyone who played along in Joanne's Single Stamped Image Clean and Simple challenge. Once again, we had great entries. I think that Ann's gorgeous sketch challenge will give us more beauties this week.
I liked the wide border in this sketch. I used a piece of the new Woven Textures DSP from Online Exclusives for this, along with a card base of Gray Granite.
I used one of the new Textured Notes dies to cut a panel from Basic White. Then I used the large foliage stamp from Textured Notes to stamp in Mossy Meadow in two generations in opposing corners. The stamps and dies can be purchased as a bundle, which gives a 10% discount. I can see that this bundle (and the DSP) will be firm favourites!
But wait... there's more! Then I blended some Crushed Curry around the corners where the leaves were stamped using a blending brush.
The sentiment, also from Textured Notes, is stamped in Gray Granite and cut with one of the dies from the bundle. The embellishmenets are some of the Glossy Dots Assortment.
For the circular element of the sketch, I stamped the round raffia mat stamp from Textured Notes in Pecan Pie, then blended some Crumb Cake around the edges. As there are not dies, some fussy cutting is required!
We'd all love to see what you do with Ann's sketch. You can see what the rest of the design team have done, and link up your entry, at The Paper Players page.

Jan, this card is exquisite! The Woven Textures paper is a stunning backdrop. I love Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry together. The script and splatters add so much interest. All of the details and special touches make this a gorgeous card. Thank you for creating this beauty for my challenge! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteJan, this card is fantastic! I just ordered this set and can't wait for it to arrive to play with all the goodies! The woven texture is amazing and the colors in the foliage is perfect! I love the splatters and the script details, too! Just fabulous! I hope you have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteJan...I love the stamped greenery in those perfect colors. I would love to see a whole card of the greenery! The sentiment is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of card I'm in awe of because I could never create it myself! I love the collage-style stamping and the way you used that basket weave paper for the frame. The whole card has a lovely clean, yet textured feel. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the organic feel to this card. I must say, those DSP patterns are SO realistic, as is your little rattan circle. Great backgrounds for your leafy images! And the sentiment is quite pretty too!
ReplyDeleteYour card definitely gives me a tropical feel, with the woven background, rattan circle and the beautiful leaves! I love the Crushed Curry ink blending and the splatter - that's a favorite of mine to add interest. What a beautiful card, Jan!
ReplyDeleteJan, I am obsessed with that focal panel you created. The blending of the Daffodil on the edges adds so much depth. The splatters are the perfect finishing touch. Gorgeous!
