Sketches {by Tamara} #30

Here's my card for this week's sketch from Sketches {by Tamara} . I was loosely inspired by fellow Kitchen Sink Stamps design team member Sarah's one layer card that featured the large "thanks so much" image from Thanks with Style embossed in silver. You can see Sarah's card using Thanks with Style here.

For this card, I cut and arranged strips of patterned paper, then stamped the image directly on the patterned paper with Versamark, then added the silver embossing powder and heat embossed. I added some heart shaped twinkle stickers over the hearts in the embossed image for some extra sparkle.

I found some pink ribbon that matched the pink in the patterned paper and tied it around the cardfront. I added a tiny scrap of silver cord to the bow to match the embossing.

Be sure to stop by Tamara's blog to see what the other card design team members have done with this sketch. If you give it a try, be sure to link your card here so I can see it, too.

Materials Used:

Thanks with Style stamp set (Kitchen Sink Stamps); Autumn Leaves patterned paper; Cool Caribbean and Basic Black cardstock, silver embossing powder, pink taffeta ribbon, silver cord (Stampin' Up!); heart twinkle stickers (Amuse)
