JAI #492: Just Add A Sketch

Hi!


Hello, and welcome to the new Just Add Ink challenge! This week we have a sketch for you, designed by the lovely Jackie.


There's so much that could be done with this sketch, don't you think? I have a nephew that turned 14 this month, and the sketch worked perfectly for the card I wanted to make for him.

I used a long-retired SU stamp set, called Play Ball, as the main feature of the card. In case you couldn't guess, he's a keen cricket player, so the cricket ball was the perfect image for his card. There are so many different colour cricket balls, but in the end I settled on the deep red of a Test Match ball.

I stamped the ball all over the Cherry Cobbler cardstock in matching ink, and then ran the whole piece through my Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I also stamped the ball in Memento ink so that I could colour it with my Cherry Cobbler Blends. I left one tiny spot of light to help give the impression of a round ball.

I repeated the ball on the inside, also coloured with my Cherry Cobbler Blends. I hope my nephew likes it!

The Design Team have had lots of fun with this sketch. You can see their cards over on the Just Add Ink blog, where you can also link up your card for this sketch challenge. See you there!

Bye for now,

Tina
