Hi There! Time for another fabulous sketch designed by Laura for
2Sketches4You to challenge your creativity.
Layers of Color Art Stamps is sponsoring this week's challenge and will also be holding a blog hop on their site (click
HERE). Here's my interpretation of Laura's sketch:
To create my card, I used both
Layers of Color Victorian Frame stamp and
Layers of Color Belle Brocade art stencil. I inked up that gorgeous Victorian Frame stamp with VersaMark ink, embossed with white embossing powder then using a
S4-290 Labels Fourteen die template to cut/emboss the image.
Layers of Color makes several stamps that coordinate with
Spellbinders™ die templates! :) Once I had the frame made, I added another layer using a rub-on sentiment from K&Company.
Up close, you can see all the beautiful detail in the embossed Victorian frame. Notice the red & white ornate paper in the middle? Well, I made that using the
Layers of Color Belle Brocade art stencil.
Here's a photo showing how I stenciled the middle layer:
All you need is some ink and a sponge dauber - super easy to create your own custom DP!
That's all I have for today - thanks so much for visiting :) Please visit the
2Sketches4You site as well as all the 2S4Y DT gals for some awesome inspiration! Hope you join along in the fun :)
Be Sweet!
