Sketches by Pamela!

Now this is more my usual speed - squeaking in at nearly the last minute for a challenge ;) Pamela at Pamela's World of Scrap posted 5 sketches as part of a World Card Making Day challenge & prize giveaway. I had a chance to play along with two of them :)

Supplies: papers from Simple Stories "Summer Fresh;"
Bazzill Basics cardstock;
Old Paper & Vintage Photo distress ink;
Burlap stamp from Market Street Stamps;
sentiment from Hero Arts 

Here's the fab sketch:

I didn't want a plain white background, but I'm also out of kraft paper & nothing else really matched, so I sponged Old Paper distress ink over the whole sheet. Then, learning from the other day, I hit it with the heat gun & left it alone for a while! Stamped over that with the burlap background in Old Paper & added the squares, and then trimmed to size. Last minute thought was to outline each square with a brown Staedtler pen. I've had those since university...those things last forever!

Supplies: Momento Gray Flannel ink;
We R Memory Keepers washi tape;
All Night Media feet stamp;
Versamark, Squeezed Lemonade distress ink, clear EP;
Stampin' Up! sentiment stamp

Shiny embossing :)

I made the green leafy paper by laying washi tape down over a larger piece of cardstock, and then cut it to size. This isn't a perfect rendition of the sketch, since the horizontal layer didn't want to happen, and the proportions are a little off, but it was definitely inspired by the sketch & so I've got to give credit for that! I love how it turned out :)

Here's this sketch:

If you've got some crafty time today, Pamela's challenge is open until midnight tonight, and she'll announce the winner tomorrow.
