Hi and welcome back.
Today we have Sketch #4 from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. Here is the sketch that I copied from the catalogue.

For my card I have chosen a single layer of Thick Basic White cardstock with no other layers.

The card base is 21cm x 14.5cm, which is then scored at 10.5cm on the long side and folded, so when it’s folded, your card front will be 10.5cm x 14.5cm.

I have used some of the Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper to mask off the areas where I didn’t want colour. I didn’t measure it but just worked out approximately how big I want the area to be coloured. It’s approximately 1cm up from the bottom and down from the top and just over 3cm from the left hand side, but you can adjust to what looks right for you.
A quick tip when it comes to using the Masking Paper – it is VERY sticky and can pull up the cardstock when you pull it off. So I stick it onto fabric before I put it onto the cardstock, usually a sleeve of the top I am wearing or jeans. This pulls up some fibres off the cloth onto the masking paper making it less sticky but still sticky enough to be effective.

Once I had the Masking Paper in place, I used a Blending Brush to put down some ink directly onto the card base. I started with some Crushed Curry ink at the bottom, then Peach Pie ink and lastly Pumpkin Pie ink. I then stamped the leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set using Memento Black ink, onto the blended area.
The sentiment is again from the Changing Leaves stamp set, and the two sentiment panels were die cut from the Changing Leaves Dies in Basic White and Pumpkin Pie.

The black brads are some of the retired Classic Matt Dots, but I had some left over and they felt just right to add a little extra touch to my card.

I have been busy on Canva recreating the sketches from the catalogue, so they are not exact copies of what is in the catalogue but close enough. And since I have put my time and effort into creating these I would appreciate acknowledgement of where you got them from if you plan on using them.

Happy stamping,
Chris
