I used the CAS -Colours and Sketches Challenge #42 sketch for this card. I really like the simplicity of the clean lines in this sketch.
Here's what I did with it:
Love, LOVE, LOVE, Island Indigo and Pool Party together! I'm so happy that Stampin' Up kept those two colours and used them in this DSP. So great!
I used one of my favourite, easy techniques -- "thumping" -- to create the look on the ornament. The "Ornament Keepsakes" stamp set is still available by the way. Here is a close up of the ornament:
While you can't see it here, I also stamped it again using the Illuminate ink to give it a bit of a shimmer. To finish it off I used a little bit of Silver 1/8" Ribbon.
Happy Stamping!
Your ornament looks fabulous in blues! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS - Colours and Sketches! I hope you'll join us again soon.
ReplyDeleteReally like your Christmas card, Great colour choice too- they do go so wel together. I am intrigued as to the meaning of 'thumping' though. Lvely sparkle and like the silver bow.Thanks for playing along with our sketch challenge this week at CC&S

Thank you for your kind comments, Louise. "Thumping" is a term I use when I ink up a stamp in a light colour and then "thump" or tap different colours onto the stamp in darker colours using my Stampin' Write markers. It creates a unique look to the stamped image.
DeleteVery pretty! I love the way you colored the ornament! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
