Freshly Made Sketches

This card was designed by my daughter Sara. When she saw the sketch challenge she envisioned this card! She wanted a sunset peeking out from the window with lots of bright colours behind a Basic Black foreground.

The card base is Magenta Madness 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

The Basic Black panel is 4" x 51/4" with a 2" circle "window" punched out near the top. 

On a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Whisper White Card Stock, sponge the sunset background. Sara used: Bumble Bee, Terra Cotta Tile, Magenta Madness, Rich Razzleberry and Misty Moonlight. She then stamped the sun from the June Paper Pumpkin Kit using Pumpkin Pie Ink. Attach the sunset art piece to the card base (watch placement of the sunset so it shows through the window) and then attach the Basic Black C/S layer using Dimensionals around the perimeter and around the window. 

Die cut a Palm Tree using Basic Black C/S. Die cut 5 small flowers and the word "Aloha" using the Rainbow Glimmer Paper. Sponge some Champagne Shimmer Paint onto the edges of the trees.

The Palm Tree is attached using Dimensionals. The flowers and Aloha are attached using Multi-purpose Glue. 

I love her choice of colours!! The colours POP on this card! Awesome card Sara!! Thanks for your creativity and assistance!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Arlene and Sara!
