Just Add Ink Challenge #6 - Sketch Challenge


This week's Just add Ink challenge is a sketch challenge:


This challenge came at a great time for me, because I needed a card for some friends who are getting married, and this sketch looked like it would fit the bill beautifully.

Here is my card:



 
List of Ingredients:

Cardstock: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White
Stamps: Together Forever
Ink: Memento Black and Riding Hood Red Classic Ink
Accessories: Flourish Emboss Folder, Papertrey Ink Black Satin Ribbon, miscellaneous white ribbon, 1 3/8 inch Square punch, 1 1/4 inch Square punch, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots and SNAIL adhesive.


The large white panel has been dry embossed with SU!'s Flourish embossing plate. It is a bit hard to see in the photos, but looks better IRL.

The black 'parcel' in the back of the third picture is the envelope. The card Measures 6 x 5 inches, so it would not fit in a standard envie..hence the hand made jobbie.

Once I'd finished this card I sat back and looked at it and realised it had a distinct Twilight feel to it...this, however, is not a problem for me ;-).

I hope you are having a lovely warm weekend. We probably don't have too many left this year....so I'm making the most of it.

Great card, Sam! It makes a beuatiful, stylish wedding card and I'm sure it was gratefully received! We're having a very HOT weekend here in Perth so I'm keeping cool inside the airconditioned house! Enjoy your weekend!
