Scalloped print

On Friday evening I set myself the challenge of making twelve cards before I went to bed. My display board is quite depleted and I need to refill it for my Open House next Friday night. I knew I wouldn’t get twelve different cards done in one night so I asked my younger daughter if she would like to take the challenge with me. My older daughter was away over night so A11 and I sat side by side at the craft table and created.

The first few cards were our own designs and took quite a while. Then we opened up a few of my favourite card blogs and picked sketches to follow. With the layout already thought out we moved a lot faster. We completed seven between us and I have since done two more so I am up to nine. Unfortunately that will not be enough to fill the board but I’m well on the way.

Above is one of the cards inspired by someone else’s sketch. This sketch is from the Card Positioning Systems blog which is a great resource for sketches. I used the scallop which was already part of the designer paper and added a matte and some sponging. On the area below the scallops I stamped the canvas background and then stamped Thinking of You all over the canvas. The sentiment is one of the new Rub-ons Stampin Up is now selling.
