Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 169-Hello


It’s time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  Karen's sketch for this week is a square card that I did up in a clean and simple style.

Here’s my take on the sketch. I used the photo from the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge as inspiration. I created my own fall colored tree with the Gently Seasoned set, stamping the branches in several different colors of ink. For a whimsical touch, I added some gingham strips at the bottom of the panel as grass and a tiny wooden bird nestled in the branches of the tree.

The image is set on a kraft panel with a green strip across it. I covered the green strip with a coordinating dotted green patterned paper and added the “hello” sentiment from the Chit Chat set on a strip of cream twill. A trio of copper brads alongside the image finish the design

To play along, just create a card based on the sketch and link it up on Karen’s blog. For lots of inspiration be sure to check out what the other Sweet Sunday Sketch stampers and our special guest stamper, Tracy MacDonald, have created for you this week. Here’s where to find them:
