FEELING SKETCHY CHALLENGE #116

This particular Monday has been very busy, but I did steal a few moments to share a card I made yesterday for the Feeling Sketchy Challenge Blog.  Here's the sketch:

I did take liberties with the sketch this week, but basically in the rotation and in substituting flowers for the ribbon.  Here's my card:

List of supplies:


  1. Cougar A7 white card blank
  2. Textured orange card stock from my stash
  3. Black card stock from my stash
  4. Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper
  5. Ranger Archival Ink re-inkers in Dandelion and Monarch Orange
  6. Tim Holtz' Adirondack alcohol ink mixative in Gold
  7. Rubbing alcohol (surgical spirit)
  8. Palette knife
  9. Finnabair "Don't Forget to Fly" cling stamp
  10. Jolee's Boutique dimensional stickers
  11. An orange Sharpie!

An orange Sharpie you ask?  In lacking orange ribbon or flowers, I came up with this great technique:


Also, items 4-8 were used to create the background using Wendy Vecchi's "re-inker" technique  (using alcohol), which she introduced at Winter CHA 2014.

 I hope you can find some time this week to participate in the Feeling Sketchy challenge.  Come on!  You know you want to!

Cheers!

    Lovely card Kay. I love, love the orange!
    I have been searching high and low for this stampset and finally found it in a tiny little shop in the Netherlands I had never heard of. All the others were sold out already !
    Mwah ! Corrie x

    Brilliant bold orange - seems the perfect colour for that fab Finn stamp (another one awaiting inking when I've got some playtime!). Love this, Kay!
