AnnaBelle Sketch Challenge

Posted by on November 25, 2011 in Annabelle Stamps | 10 comments

Welcome to a sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. Hope that you can find time to play along with us. My offering this week is not a card, but a bauble to hang on the Christmas Tree. Something a little different and I love how it turned out. For those of you who took the recent Holiday Card Boot camp, you will see I got a little of my inspiration from there.

I used the poinsettia flower from the “Squared Posies” set which I heat embossed in white, then coloured with Fired Brick Distress Stain and spritzed with pearlised water. This is the first time I have used distress stains and I LOVE them! Will have to add some more to the little stash I have I think! The text in the background is BBD #6 set and the sentiment is from the “Holly Branch” set. I added some shine with a pile of silver metallic sprinkles.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Squared Posies” stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps  “Holly Branch” stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps BBD #6  stamp set
Ink:  Distress Ink – Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Distress Stain – Fired Brick
Card:  AnnaBelle stamps smooth white card
Other Supplies: American Crafts white embossing powder, heat gun, Spellbinders circle die – small, Cuttlebug, Creative Memoriescircle cutters, Ranger – Perfect Pearls, mini mister, foam dimensionals, thin silver ribbon, Carl Craft square punch, WRMK corner chomper, silver metallic sprinkles (3mm, 4mm and 5mm), Ranger blending tool

Hope that you can join in and play along – the winner will receive a $15 Gift voucher to the store. Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT have created including our Guest Designer Sue McRae. All the DT Girls links are on my sidebar – why not leave them some love?


Until next time,

Marion
