This card, using the sketch from Crafty Boots was made using technology (Silhouette cutting machine) and traditional methods.
I wanted a row of sketchy circles, but I don't have any stamps (and don't even think about freehand!) , so I made some in Silhouette Studio and used the sketch pens to draw them electronically. ( The border was drawn at the same time).
I had to experiment with colouring them. I tried watercolouring with ink but the pen ran too much, so I used alcohol markers.
Then I used one of my favourite stamp sets (7 Gypsies 'numbers' ) to stamp numbers and words. Finally, I electronically die-cut the sentiment.
As well as Crafy Boots, I'd like to enter:
That's Crafty number's up

Love it! Great take on the sketch. The circles have a super grungy feel which I love. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM this week!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card. I had to pin it.
ReplyDeleteThis design is so youthful, would be perfect as a card for a teenager too, just use a birthday sentiment and voila. I'm always looking out for ideas for this age group.
ReplyDeleteLove your sketchy circles and what a great idea to do them on the Silhouette. Thanks for joining in at Crafty Boots Challenges this time.
ReplyDeleteReally great use of the shapes and lovely clean looking colours

Beautiful monochromatic card! Thanks for playing with us at ATSM!
ReplyDeleteWow! This has got to be technology at its best! You were so clever to make the scribbly circles with the sketch pens! Way to nail it! And I adore this color palette. It is so simple, yet also filled with amazing details. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this card and reading about its creation. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun way to say, "Thank you!"
ReplyDeleteThe circles are so fun and artistic. Love it! I'm really impressed by how you created this. I have a Silhouette, but haven't attempted to use sketch pens...yet. :)
