Inky Paws Challenge #243 - Sketch Challenge

This has been such a fun sketch! I hope you have a chance to play along with us if you haven't already! There's just a few days left to play!

I decided to make a birthday card for my last card. I actually started by picking my papers first for this one. I wanted three pattern papers that all had a white background so I chose the above three papers from the Birthday Party 6x6 Paper Pad. I used the Card Layout 4 Die as a guide to cut my papers out. Once I had the papers cut, I secured the die to the papers using washi tape and ran it through my Big Shot. I then die cut the frame from white card stock and adhered all of the pieces to a white A2 top fold card base.

I pulled out the fun Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set and inked up a few images to coordinate with the pattern papers I had chosen. I colored each of them with some Copic markers to coordinate with the colors in the papers and then I die cut them using the coordinating dies from the Birthday Postage Sampler Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Present: YR20, YR15, R20, R14

Balloons: Y11, Y15, YG11, YG03, Colorless Blender

Cupcake: Y11, Y15, Y38, BG000, BG10, BG15, E11, E25

I die cut three circles from white card stock using a die from the Circle Frames Die Set. I added foam tape to the back of each and popped them up on the circles and then I adhered the circles to the card. I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and then adhered it to the card, as well.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the fun sketch. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!
