Hello stampers! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge. I chose to use the neat set Sophisticated Sled and the matching dies. I remember Stampin' Up came out with a pair of skates stamp several years ago at Christmas and I always regretted not purchasing it, so when I saw this one I jumped on it first thing! I love the way the wood on the sled is die cut and embossed at the same time, which brings me to another challenge I'm playing along with....As You See It. It's hard to pinpoint one favorite craft item, but as I just mentioned I'm really enjoying the combination embossed die cuts. I also am loving using my blending brushes to bring out the texture of the embossing, which you can see a little on the wood sled.
For the Tic Tac Toe challenge I'm playing with the left side down. Wreath, Any Shape Die, and Embossing. Technically my wreath is more of a spray.
Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Sophisticated Sled
Paper: Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, White, Winter Meadow DSP
Ink: Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake, VersaMark
Accessories: Sophisticated Sled dies, White EP, Druzy Embellishments, Linen Thread, Retired twine (darker), wink of stella
What a gorgeous card! Love the embossing/dies/blending you've got happening. I can see why they'd be favourites in the craft room. Such pretty colours too. Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jan!
DeleteOh, Jennie, I just love what you did with these dies, using the Pool Party instead of the metallic and ink blending over the embossed areas as well as the gorgeous background!! Thanks for filling in the blank for us at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteThis set jumped straight into my basket too Jenny (and for what it's worth, I think it's better than the previous set ;-) ) and your card is a layered beauty, with the embossed/inked detail of the sled so eyecatching. Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It!
