Around The World On Wednesday October Blog Hop Sketch 102 Challenge

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday October Blog Hop and this month we have a Sketch Challenge to share with you. Our amazing Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

For my interpretation of the sketch, I flipped the card design from portrait to landscape and then mirrored the layout, to create my card design. I chose to use the Cottage Rose Bundle and the coordinating Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my design and added a little texture with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. The color combination I chose features warm, Fall-like colors that work well for a birthday card for this time of year.

This beautiful birthday card is all about the wonderful floral design in the bottom left corner and the sketch layout was a great way to help me piece it all together. I stamped and die cut the floral image and colored it with Stampin' Blends Markers to bring the image to life. The three circles were all embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and I sponged ink onto the edges and raised areas of the Pale Papaya and Soft Sea Foam circles to bring out the detail. The detailed floral elements were die cut from Early Espresso cardstock and attached to the two smaller circles and I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder onto the Very Vanilla sentiment label to help step up the design. The small bow on the top corner of the sentiment label has been tied with Very Vanilla Baker's Twine and I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the floral design to add a touch of sparkle. The beautiful designer series paper background layer really helps make the floral image pop and the Early Espresso card base frames the card design perfectly. I love how this card design turned out and how much fun it was to try this sketch layout.
