Paper Pretties is having a 'masculine' theme challenge and I am submitting this card.
The challenge at Our Creative Corner is "Making Melody" Take inspiration from a song and work it into any papercraft project you'd like - a card, a gift tag or some other paper craft project. Be inspired by the lyrics or the feeling you get by listening along. Just make sure your post includes the song title (and if possible the artist) that inspired you! My song is "Up, Up and Away" by the Fifth Dimension.
The image in the center was made with Stampscapes stamps and colored with dye inks. The edges of the brown CS were distressed with a Tim Holtz paper distresser then the whole piece was embossed with a PTI wood grain embossing plate then sanded to give it a distressed look. Some gray dye ink was then applied over the sanded areas. The hot air balloon stamp, die and sentiment are from PTI and colored with Copic markers. The edges of cream colored card stock were torn then Vintage Photo ink was applied to these edges.
This is the sketch that was used to create this card.
Since I'm a newbie at creating sketches this one is rather simple. I hope you will play along. I can't wait to see your creations.
Please stop by TMS, click on the name above each card and visit this sites of these talented gals. Be sure to leave them a little 'comment love'.
