Stephen Kropf: MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #539

Hi Friends!

Welcome to another Wednesday Sketch Challenge from My Favorite Things! I have really been enjoying these sketch challenges as most days I find I struggle coming up with card layouts. This week I didn’t deviate from the sketch too much and I’m pretty pleased how this project turned out.

For this weeks challenge I knew I wanted to use the Sprinkling You With Love stamp set...this was my favorite from the April release and I know I will be using it many times again. I used the Slimline Starter Die-namics set to create the base layout for my card using Butterscotch Prestige Card Stock. Next I used the Basket Weave stencil with Candied Yam and Butterscotch Premium Die ink and I just love the texture and visual interest it added to my card. I pulled the banner from the Slimline Starter set and head embossed the sentiment on it using white embossing powder.

My background was created using the Sunrise Radiating Rays stencil with Amarena Cherry, Candied Yam and Butterscotch Premium Dye inks as well as some Black Soot Distress Ink. I also added some splattering using white paint. I coloured the adorable image up with my Copic markers...I unfortunately did not write down my combos but I believe I used the E80’s colour family for the colouring.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a comment below...I love hearing from you.
