Sketch Saturday Design Team Call




I was very excited to see that Sketch Saturday had put out a call for Design Team Members. This is my entry using the required sketch. Today was the perfect fall day in Michigan--sunny and warm with the leaves starting to turn color. It was my inspiration for this design. What you would need to make a similar card:
  • Coordinating fall color print papers-I used four different prints
  • Cardstock to match-I used dark brown, beige and rust
  • Fall image and sentiment
  • Ribbon
  • Leaf Button
  • Hemp cord
  • Cuttlebug
  • Embossing folder-I used a diamond pattern by Quickkutz
  • Border punch-I used a Fiskars punch

My card is a square measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" (7 1/2 cm. x 7 1/2 cm.). My image is colored with Copic markers. He's such a cute little guy. I have to admit that this rubber stamp belongs to my aunt. I stamped it and brought it home with me after a recent crafting weekend with her. She used to own a craft shop and has hundreds of stamps. I didn't even get to see them all. Next time I go visiting I will have to bring cardstock and stamp some more of her images. I found the cute leaf button while vacationing this summer in a small town located on the shores of Lake Huron called East Tawas. They have the best Ben Franklin store there with lots of little goodies like this. I came home with more stuff to add to my stashes (which my husband can't understand). I decided to keep my embellishing simple because of all the different patterned papers.
