Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing their creative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products. This month the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop is sketch challenge.
This is the sketch we have for inspiration for our projects this month.
The Les Shoppes suite immediately jumped to mind when I saw this sketch! Fussy cutting the shops from the DSP was fun! I combined a couple of the buildings to create my two story shop which I mounted onto a layer of Calypso Coral card. Again, I fussy cut around the border to provide a shadow around the outside of the building.
For the background I added stripes of DSP, as per the sketch, and then embossed the entire layer thereby embedding the DSP into the textured pattern. Choosing the neutral Smokey Slate allows the Calypso Coral elements to pop! The sentiment is simply stamped in Basic Gray ink on a Smokey Slate banner.
I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too. Enjoy the projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
