Sketch & Patterned Paper Inspired Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I just had a day of wanting to create something but couldn't decide what to create. A blog challenge always seem to motivate me. I guess I am having one of those overwhelmed days. Gladly, a retired Basic Grey 6x6 patterned paper helped me out get through my creative slump. 

For this card, I started first with working with the background panel. It is more involving compared to the focal point of the card. I know there are dies that can cut out this sun ray pattern but since I don't have one, I used the Newton Nook's Sunscape Stencil to help me with the cuts. I traced the sun rays on a scrap paper. I placed a number on each sun ray so I will not interchange the order of the sun rays. I cut this out with scissors and chose the patterned papers that I will cut out for each ray.

I adhered the cut out sun rays on another piece of paper cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". It was easier for me to adhered the corner sun ray first then worked my way through each sun ray. Who would think that I used a stencil to create this?

To complete the rest of the sketch, I used more of the patterned papers included in the 6x6 pad. The smaller scalloped edge was created using the edge of a rectangle die. The larger scallops were die cut using a border edge. 

I stamped the sentiment using a brown dye ink. The sentiment is from Newton's Nook A Cozy Day stamp set.

For the focal point of the card, I stamped Newton on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image is from NN Newton's Summer Treats stamp set. I colored the image with Copic markers. I added texture to the ice cream with Wow! embossing powders. I carefully painted Wow! embossing fluid to the ice cream, poured embossing powder, then heat set it. I fussy cut the image leaving a small white border around it. 

I die cut an oval shape on a red patterned paper. I die cut two more oval pieces and adhered this to the back of the red oval die cut for a some dimension. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Paint Distress Ink. 

I adhered Newton to the oval with foam tape. 

Using the next small sized oval, I traced an oval outline on the oval die cut to create a frame. I used a black marker for this. I adhered this to the center of the panel.

I added sequins to the panel. I also added a red gem to the ice cream. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like today's card. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
