CAS Colours and Sketches #394

I am finishing up my month of hostess duties over at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge blog.  and for our final October challenge I created the following sketch for you to try.

Sketches can be interpreted in many ways but my intent with this one was to use 9 images of identical shape (colors/patterns could vary) behind a sentiment.  (9 stars, 9 hearts, 9 diamonds, etc.)  As always feel free to rotate or flip the sketch to your liking.  

Here's how I interpreted the sketch.

I began by masking off the edges of a white cardstock panel.  I did some ink blending with a gradient of Distress Ink colors in the center of the panel and then added some shimmer splatters for a bit of visual interest.  After removing the masking I was left with a thick white border on the panel.  Next, I created the vertical stitches using a die.  I also die cut nine hearts from white cardstock and placed them along the vertical stitching in the pattern shown in the sketch.  I added a large die cut sentiment cut from black glitter cardstock and a smaller sub-sentiment stamped in black onto a narrow strip of white cardstock.  I adhered the finished panel to a piece of black and white patterned paper, leaving just enough peeking out for a very narrow border.  All that was left to do was adhere this to a white card base of 110 lb Neenah Solar White.

Supplies:

MFT - Stitched Hearts die set

MFT - Kind die

MFT - Bitty Thanks stamp set

MFT - Diagonal Stripes patterned paper

I hope you were able to play along with me this month.  I'll be watching for your creations in the gallery!!!

Stay safe and healthy my friends!
