This months hop is One Sketch Two Cards. I don’t normally work from a sketch and this took me a little while to get used to. I started with the Sailing Away suite for my first card, this took me a few hours to work out! I know hours, I had to leave it over night and look at with fresh eyes the next day.
My second card was much quicker and my favourite of the two, I was obviously getting into the swing of the challenge.
The sketch was found on Pinterest Designed by Teresa Collins
With my Sailing Home Card I followed the sketch quite closely, using bunting at the top, using stitched layers but I had a more loose interpretation on my Free as a Bird Card.
I worked in 5 x 7” for both of my cards, I have been clearing out my craft room and have found lots of envelopes in my stash so I’m trying to make cards to fit them.
I did lots of the work before I put my cards together, cutting my choice of layers, Stamping and die cutting, lots of fussy cutting for Free as a Bird Card. I made a video but due to a rotten cold brought home by my hubby I’ve tried to keep talking to a minimum. I will play some music while putting layers together.
I’ve used Whisper White for inside my card, a quick stamp in Night of Navy and Calypso Coral to make inside pretty.
These are stunning Linda. I love how you followed the sketch so closely with the first card, but second card is more of a looser interpretation of the sketch. Thanks for joining us

DeleteBeautiful cards Linda 😊
ReplyDeleteI love both cards, love the touch of red in the Sailing Home card. And the white embossing on vellum on the bird card is just beautiful!
