Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop – Timeless Textures

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you. The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues.

Today’s sketch was designed by Justyna.

I had a little trouble at first and had to scrap my first attempt. But my second card was much better and here it is…

I had a good think about whether to use patterned paper for the 3 blocks on the sketch. After a browse through my stamp sets I came across Timeless Textures. The patterned blocks would be perfect – after all…this is my interpretation of the sketch and I like to think outside of the box.

To make things easier I used a pre-made A6 card I had in my stash. You can make your own with a piece of cardstock – Measurements are below.

As it’s the Easter weekend I thought Daffodil Delight (yellow) would be a nice colour to use. I had two yellow circles leftover from my first failed attempt and they were laying on my desk as they are now on the card with a white circle on top. I thought that was a nice effect so I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Blooms set onto the white circle. All the circles in this cluster are from the 2″ circle punch. Perfect if you haven’t got a range of circles to choose from (like me!).

To finish the card off I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack and placed White Perfect Accents in the centre of each one.

Of course, I had to finish off with sponging all the sides with Daffodil Delight Ink.

Measurements for all my cuts

Whisper White card base – 8″1/4 x 5″7/8 or an A6 pre-made card

 Hope you are enjoying the blog hop and I wish you all a great Easter and a little sunshine 🙂
