Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #120

It's time for a new sketch at Feeling Sketchy and here is the sketch we're playing with.....

Our challenge sponsor is Polkadoodles.

I found the sketch to be a little bit busy for my usual style, so I decided on a pared back interpretation for my shaker card.  I started with a panel of white cardstock and applied Distress Inks to create a night sky.  

I flicked some water on top to add texture and white spray ink for stars.

I made a circle window for the shaker portion of my card using a circle punch, and then coloured the panel beneath with distress inks.  I added small silver star confetti to the inside of my shaker and some larger star confetti to the front of my card.

The owl and branch from a Hero Arts stamp set were stamped and Copic coloured before being fussy-cut and added to the card front.  I stamped a few extra leaves to fill that space a bit better.  The sentiment was white heat-embossed. 

I added some Glossy Accents to the owl's eyes for extra shine.


For my second card I used a digital stamp from Polkadoodles, printed it on cardstock with my laser printer and then applied Therm-o-Web Gold Deco-Foil using my laminator.  Jennifer McGuire has a terrific tutorial on how to do this here.  Although the image I was using had very thin lines, I was able to apply the foil successfully, but it's hard to see it unless you tilt it towards a light source.  I will be doing this again for sure with thicker images.

 I used patterned papers from Dear Lizzy's Serendipity Collection and added gold embossing to the edges of my card base. 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut my sentiment three times.  I adhered them together to make a sturdy one, then gold heat embossed it before adding it to my card. I also used a doily file from the Silhouette store and cut it from one of my patterned papers.
