Hi and welcome to the latest sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches where our sketch hostess is Narelle Farrugia. I went a bit collage-y to make this card for my dad's birthday.
I used a lot of products from The Greetery on this card. On the large die-cut panel I stamped segments of a text stamp across the top left corner and splattered some ink. I then die-cut the brick wall die and coloured the corners with Copics.
The postage stamps were stamped and die-cut and matted onto a panel I'd coloured with some Altenew ink. I added some leaves and foliage in the top left and bottom rights segments
The sentiment was stamped with black ink and I added some hearts. I also added glossy accents to the hearts.
Thanks for visiting! Please check out the DT cards and have a go yourself!
Products used:
Stamps: Pretty Postmarks, Petite Eucalyptus (The Greetery), Loads of Wishes (Avery Elle)
Ink: Fog, Stone (SSS), Tranquility set (Altenew), Versafine Onyx Black
Cardstock: Fog (SSS), Whip Cream, White
Dies: Brick Layer Die, Postal Frames (The Greetery); Detail Elm Leaves (SSS)
Accessories: Copics, Glossy Accents
Cheers
Karren
