CPS Sketch #232 with CDAC Digital Art

 

  • Digital Art – Crafter’s Digital Art Center (CDAC) by Sandi Hugget of Sandi’s Samples
  • Patterned paper – BoBunny “Garden Girl Vines”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill and WorldWin
  • Corner rounder – Creative Memories

This is an interpretation of the current CPS sketch, #232. I changed the orientation of the sketch as it was presented to better feature the artwork. I colored the artwork with Copic Markers. The artwork is from Crafter’s Digital Art Center (CDAC), created by Sandi’s Samples. I just bought the Bo Bunny paper today at Stampin’ Cat and was pretty excited to use it with this!  Thanks for visiting today.

I’m pretty amazed that i’ve posted 100 cards already–just in a few months. Anyway, this is a card made using this week’s sketch on OWH Stars and Stripes: Sketch #81. I like this sketch–it is simple and very easy to apply to any card theme. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the 100th post!


CPS Sketch #230

  • Stamps – Rubber Soul “Happy Birthday,” Basic Grey “Insignia stamp set”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

I created the background for this card with Colorbox Chalk inks direct to paper and then went in with a starburst stamp (manufacturer unknown) and stamped over the inked layer. This is an extremely simple card, using the CPS Sketch #230.  With such a “busy” background, I decided to keep it simple! Thank you for visiting.

  • Patterned papers – Basic Grey: “Basics Lineup,” “Pyrus: Pirum,” “Pyrus: Chinese White”
  • Die cuts – Spellbinders Netstabilities “Lacey Circles” and “Standard Circles Large”
  • Stamps – Taylored Art Work – “Butterfly,” Hero Arts ‘”Flourish Wave,” Northwoods: “Capital For You”

This card was designed using the current Mojo Monday Sketch #202. The papers are all Basic Grey. Thanks for stopping by.


Clean & Simple Sketch #152

  • Die cuts – Spellbinders Nestabilities: Labels Twenty, Butterflies, and Foliage
  • Stamp – Penny Black “Flourish Birthday”
  • Patterned papers – Basic Grey “Wisteria: Fountain” and BoBunny “Clover Dot”
  • Inks – ColorBox Chalk Inks

This card was inspired by the current sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping – Fall to Layout #152.  There is very little stamping involved, just the birthday stamp and inking the edges. I also used the chalk ink to add color to the butterfly, using the die as a stencil. Thanks for visiting.
