On WEDNESDAY, I did some research and made a light box out of items I already had around the house....a cardboard box approximately 12 x 12 x 12, tissue paper, white wrapping paper, and adhesive. If you google "how to make a light box" you'll get several sights with the same basic idea and detailed instructions. I cannot believe how much difference this makes! Here she is:
I started on the SCS Wednesday sketch challenge but it just wasn't coming to me.
On Thursday I FINALLY finished a card for the sketch challenge. Here she is (looking NOTHING like my original idea!):
I made this card for the card sketch challenge SC181. The end result is nothing like the idea I originally started with. My friend Janette (Blessingsx3) always does something with every layer of her cardstock and I always like the look. I challenged myself to do that here.
The apricot cardstock layer was first scored with my score-pal. Then I stamped an eggplant flower in each diamond. Next I sponged eggplant around the edges. I wanted to bring out the grid a little more so I attempted to sponge on just the grid. I ended up getting some onto the flower area and thought it looked great so I just ran the sponge all over the whole piece. It really toned down that bright apricot.
LESSON I NEED TO LEARN: First pickout cardstock, then color! When will I get it!
Stamps: Penny Black Chit Chat, Polka Dots & Paisley, Seeing Spots
Paper: SU Celery, Eggplant, and Apricot
Ink: SU Eggplant and Apricot

Enjoy!
