I try to stay organized and ahead of the game, but sometimes (okay, most times) I lose track. I had to have this post ready by Friday night so the organizer of canyoucaseit.com, Eva Bussom, could get everything set up for the challenge post. Pretty late Friday evening I realized I hadn’t made a card for this week’s challenge. First I panicked, as one does. Then I thought to look through the cards I’ve made but haven’t gotten around to posting yet. Voila! This card that I made at the Rising Star Retreat in Utah fit the sketch to a tee. Problem solved. Well, except for actually getting the post done. Which, obviously, I did, if you’re reading this.
Here is this week’s sketch challenge…
…and here’s my card.
This card showcases the Going Places suite of products in the 2016 Occasions catalog.
The card base is Lost Lagoon card stock. The next layer is Sahara Sand CS that I stamped by inking up the World Traveler embossing folder with Sahara Sand ink, putting the CS inside, and rubbing it with my hand. It isn’t embossed, only stamped. The hand rubbing is what gives it the worn look, since I didn’t use enough pressure to transfer the ink in some places.
I also stamped this layer with the constellation stamp from the Going Global stamp set in Archival Basic Black ink, and with the You Mean the World to Me stamp in Sahara Sand ink.
The three pieces of Designer Series Paper are from the Going Places DSP stack. I stamped the globe in Lost Lagoon ink directly onto the DSP and cut it with the 2″ Circle Punch. The two DSP strips are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the globe is glued onto them.
I stamped the main sentiment with Basic Black on a strip of Very Vanilla CS, then notched the ends with the Banner Triple Punch. I adhered it to the DSP pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here’s what I used:
