Basic Beige | Dot Dot Stamping Designs

Hi and welcome back to day 17 of my sketch challenge.
My card today uses the 17th Sketch from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and is my card for this month’s challenge at Craftin Round The World.
Here is sketch number 17 from Page 22 of the catalogue. If you would like to find Day 1 of the sketch challenge for the month of August, just click here.

I have used panels of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, at 2.5cm in width by 13.5cm and spaced them evenly across my card base which is some Basic Beige cardstock.

For the centre panel I have a piece of Night of Navy cardstock cut to 7.5cm x 10.5cm, a piece of Basic Beige cardstock which is 7.3cm x 10.3cm, and then a piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 6cm x 8.5cm.

The stamped images are from Under The Moon stamp set, the ocean stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, the dolphin and sentiment (from the Poised Peony stamp set) in Night of Navy ink, and the clouds in Basic Beige ink.

I quite like the combination of the blue colours teamed with Basic Beige. What do you think?

That’s it for me today.
Happy stamping!
Chris

PS Don’t forget the sale on Designer Series Papers which you can buy in my Online Store here.

The Beatles Song “And Your Bird Can Sing” is the inspiration for my Design Team project for Craftin’ Round The World Challenges today, and I had so much fun creating this card.

I have used the new Basic Beige cardstock for the card base and also the next layer, which has been stamped tone on tone with Basic Beige ink and the Stippled Roses stamp set.
I have taken a piece of old sheet music – I’ve been a musician since I was very young, so there’s plenty of it lying around – and I have scrunched it up before sponging some Crumb Cake ink around the edges and on the raised areas.

I’ve used some of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Country Birdhouse Dies to create the bird house. For those cute little birds I have used the reverse image technique, of stamping the image from the Country Birdhouse bundle onto a Silicone Craft Sheet in Memento Black ink, and then pressing a piece of white cardstock over the image, which in effect, reverses the image when it goes onto the cardstock. Perhaps this is a good time for me to get back into doing Facebook Live and YouTube videos to demonstrate that one.

If you are on Facebook (or even if you are not), come and share your projects with us at Craftin’ Round the World Challenges, we love to see what you have been creating.

And don’t forget that the Country Birdhouse Bundle, and all the Bundles are an extra 10% off the already discounted price until the end of June, and you can find them in my online store.
Happy stamping!
Chris
