Sketch Saturday


I love the layout that is currently up for the Sketch Saturday challenge! I vary in my "starting points" for creating a card but this one was totally the new paper pad - Authentique's "Poised" 6x6" pad. I love yellow and black together, so this one spoke to me when I recently sent in an order to Simon Says Stamp.

If you haven't noticed by now, you'll see I've become a big fan of Betsy Veldman's new company "The Greetery"!  Her fonts are fabulous and her layering stamps and dies are so easy to work with! She has a new release for August that will be available Friday and I'll just say that my budget will be taking another hit - lol!  

 I wanted the sentiment to be the focal point and paired it with this awesome sunflower die. I watercolored with Zigs but the bottom layer was way too yellow, so I re-cut that layer and sponged with So Saffron and More Mustard (SU) inks and that blended better with the paper colors. I also lightly sponged some Mustard ink on the middle layer of petals. 

STAMPS: Comforting Commands (The Greetery).
PAPER: Poised 6x6 pad by Authentique; True Black, White by PTI; Water color paper by Ranger.
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black. 
DIES: Sentiment Suite Basics and Sunflower by The Greetery; Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics by My Favorite Things.

 This would be a great card of encouragement and I have the perfect recipient in mind for it! Stay cool everyone...         ~Wanda

    Beautiful card Wanda - love the colors combined with the beautiful sentiment. I have been regretting not purhasing that flower die! And yes, my wallet is going to take a big hit with the new release too. I literally want everything so far! How are you feeling these days? I pray that all your checkups have been good news.

    Wanda, what a beautiful card and a wonderful Scripture portion that I so love! I just recently bought the Sunflower dies and can hardly wait to use them. Your card has inspired me. And I also have this wonderful stamp set (and may "need" the dies!!). Thanks for sharing and inspiring me. Hugs, my friend!
