To help inspire my crafting I'm following along with the Great American Stampin' Show as they use the sketches from the catalogue as inspiration. This week it is sketch #6 and as usual, you do not have to follow strictly to the same formula. Use the sketch to inspire, and don't forget to send the cards you create.
I found this week's sketch was really helpful in creating the Country Birdhouse card. Beginning with cutting the 3 rectangles 2½" by 1¾" from the Country Woods DSP because it is relatively neutral, I had the idea that my 'circle' would be a simple sentiment or flower.
Just for fun I stamped the birdhouse onto a couple of pieces of DSP and constructed a couple of different birdhouses before settling on this Coastal Cabana timber.
Water colouring was a technique included in our August class, so there was a lot of water colour paper left over to cut small flowers and leaves. Once coloured and dried they make a pretty embellishment on the card.
SHOP:
Your orders are very much appreciated, no matter how small or big, every little bit helps me to meet my minimums and keep on creating. Hopefully you are inspired by some of the projects I share and want to make your own. My online shop is open anytime and delivery by tracked Australia Post takes 5-10 days.
I have been an active Stampin' Up! demonstrator for 14 years, and thanks to my wonderful team, I am at Silver Elite level. One of the joys of crafting is sharing it with others, so I hold monthly classes both in my home and in the community. Do get in touch if you have questions about classes or Stampin' Up! products.
