Hero Arts April Sketch #2

I love sketches! Hero Arts's April challenge is a set of three sketches, I tackled this one with ease. I got out the HA Big Postcard and my new Hydrangea stamp and inked on patterned paper, fussy cut, paper pieced, added stickles and inked the edges... Voila! Done! I'm also adding this card to PCS April Gallery Challenge and A Blog Named Hero's Layer Cake challenge. Now off to do the other two!!

Ingredients
Card - Neenah Desert Storm
Stamps - Hero Arts CG455, S5685, K5376, CL574
Die - Simon Says Stamp Folded Banner
Inks - Ranger Archival Jet Black, Tim Holtz Vintage Photo

October Sketch

The creative juices are overflowing this week. This card is based on the Hero Arts October sketch with colours from the Play Date Cafe challenge. I struggled with the colours for this card and finally decided to use the Distress Inks in an embossing folder to achieve the effect I wanted. After wet embossing, the card was sprayed with Perfect Pearls before being cut into even strips for the sketch. Thanks for dropping by!

I'm still recovering from World Card Making Day! There were so many blogs and cards uploaded on the weekend, it was hard to keep up. I just wanted to finish off a card that I started on the weekend and upload it to the last of the WCMD contests. I have an Off-the-page project which I want to finish off this week, can't wait to upload it next week. My card today has a pink theme to go with CAS-sual Fridays - For the Girls challenge. I combined it with the Hero Arts October sketch and the Trendwatch challenge in the Classroom. I based the design on a previous card I had made here. Hope you like it!
