Stick it Down – December 2016

 

Here’s the December sketch from Stick it Down.  I used a masking technique I learned from Dawn’s Stamping Thoughts.  You use Post Its to mask off the middle third of the card, then smear inks around the top and bottom thirds.  I used Stampin’ Up inks and a cotton ball on mine, and a Sharpie for the dark black lines.

 

For my first card, I turned the sketch on its side.  These stamps are from Unity Stamp Company.   I love their sentiment stamps.  They’re so inspirational!
Then I needed a sympathy card:

I think this sentiment stamp set is from Close to my Heart, and the branch stamp is a very old wood mounted stamp.  I love how the Sharpie line makes the white pop!

Try your hand at our sketch and link it over at Stick it Down.  The winner is invited to be a guest designer for a future challenge!
