JAI 611 sketch challenge - Sending thanks card

Handmade thank you card using Stampin Up Sending Smiles stamp set and dies bundle, Amazing Year stamp set, Hues of Happiness paper and Stampin Blends markers. Card by Di Barnes - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Sydney Australia - colourmehappy - stampinupcards

Hello & welcome! Today's project share is for this week's Just Add Ink challenge - a sketch challenge suggested by me. Its simplicity gives so many possibilities.

I used elements already on my desk from other creating, including the fabulous Hues of Happiness paper, Sending Smiles stamps and dies bundle and Amazing Year stamp set (both of which I used for last weekend's class too - projects coming soon). Here's how it turned out.

Pretty Papers - I still can't get enough of the Hues of Happiness paper (after making this set of cards). This time I chose the print with a rainbow of tiny florals on a navy background. I ran this through the retired Subtle embossing folder and adhered to a thick white base.
The watercolour wash print worked well for the banner element in the sketch. I backed this with foam sheeting to make it pop and sturdy.

Sending Smiles sentiment - The two layer 'sending'  die gives such a fab effect teamed with the supporting thank you sentiment and banner from the Sending Smiles bundle. You must check it out (below & in supply list here) as there are so many useful sentiment options for you in it.

Heat embossed flower bouquet - This stamp set caught my eye straight away in the Annual Catalogue and the bouquet worked really well as the challenge element.

I used my Stamparatus to easily create navy heat embossing using Versamark, Night of Navy ink and clear embossing powder. I coloured the embossed image with Stampin' Blends markers - Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green.
PS: Do check out the full set image below - great options for birthdays and everyday. 

So that's my sketch challenge card. I hope you liked it. The Design Team have lots more ideas using the sketch that I'm sure you'll love so head to the Just Add Ink blog to see them, then try the sketch too.

    So beautiful, Di! The bold colours of the flowers look fantastic against the navy background. The posy image was a fabulous choice.
