Another Friday and another sketch challenge from Beate. This week, I used this Lockhart Stamp Co Indian Corn image and paired it with Stampin' Up's retired sentiment set, Fancy Flexible Phrases, for a Thanksgiving card.
I began by stamping the corn in Brilliance Coffee Bean on Curious Iridescent Poison Ivory cardstock and then embossed/die cut it with Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Oval. The image was colored with Copic Markers and then highlighted with Copic Atyou Spica glitter pens (gold & melon). Here's a close up of all that glitter you all know I love!
Then I matted the image with a Spellbinders Nestabilities embossed cut of chocolate Scalloped Oval; all was mounted with dimensionals to the card.
The card base is a Memory Box Paprika note card and the patterned papers are from Memory Box's Studio 6x6 Studio pad. This layer was distressed with Tonic's Edge Distresser and has a beautiful May Arts shimmery copper-edged chocolate ribbon tied around it (from Anna's Sassy & Sweet Crafts online store). The finishing touch are three tortoise-like Dew Drops -- aren't those delightful?!
Be sure to try this sketch this weekend and check the samples from Beate, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig and MaryJo Albright -- they always knock my socks off!
