April 2014 Card Sketch Challenge

[ScrappinJen]

I'm really running behind on my sketches this month. Sorry. I don't have a sample ready yet but I'm sure one of you speedy ladies will get a card posted before I do. Hope you like this one. I grabbed it from Papertrey Ink. Please enjoy.

Oh this is very cool and edgy. Like it and as soon as I get my taxes done I am on it.

[ScrappinJen]

Taxes?
We don't need no stinkin' taxes!

Here is the card I made with this sketch in mind. It's not an exact replica but I've been dying to use my Washi Wonder stamps from CTMH and I felt they sorta worked for the strips. Pattern paper from stash. A little bling to secure them, a CTMH sentiment and Bob's your uncle, it's done. Thanks for looking. Hope to see more cards soon.

I really like those 'make your own washi tape' stamps. Nice card!

[Paula]

Nice sketch and nice card!!

[paddlegal]

Can I just copy your card Jen? Love the washi tape. And I think I have, ahem, two washi tape sets. One from CTMH and one from MFT.

[ScrappinJen]

Yes, you may. But you must use the MFT set. So we can all see what it looks like.

a quick card but it isn't
a very good one
fun playing

[ScrappinJen]

Very nice card, Jill. Thanks for playing.

[mpizzazz]

Jill, I really like your interpretation of the sketch with the paper strips and lace edging.

[jmp1022]

thanks
did it with some scraps last night

[ScrappinJen]

[paddlegal]

Jill using a die strip like you did is so clever and your card is charming.


I copied Jen's idea of using washi tape stamps but mine are the MFT's set instead of CTMH. I am on a binge of using a homemade ink pad of 9 different Distress Inks on one pad. This gives me a lot of color that blends well and I don't have to think too hard on how to color something. I cut the stamped washi tapes into banners and added enamel dots. The "hello" stamp is from TSOL vertical sentiments set. Background swirls are from CTMH.

Good job on these cards ladies. Nice to see the different uses of that layout.
