JAI 611: Just Add A Sketch

Hi! 

Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have a sketch for you, designed by Di for us.

As it turns out, I had been looking through my retired stamps collection just before I saw this sketch, and I decided immediately that the swing from Sitting Here was absolutely perfect for this sketch. I pulled out my Stampin' Blends and set about making a scene to go with it.

The only stamped elements in this card are the swing, the sentiment (In The Moment) and the leaves in the tree (Beautiful Friendship). I started by stamping the swing in Memento ink, and then using a pencil to lightly draw in a horizon line. The rest is all hand-drawn/coloured using various Blends. A white Gel Pen was used to add snow to the mountain.

I left the inside super simple. The sentiment on the front lends itself to a wide variety of situations, so I didn't stamp an inside sentiment. I will either just hand-write something, or stamp an appropriate sentiment when I decide to use the card.

Thanks again for joining me - now your job begins! Pop on over to the Just Add Ink website, where you'll find our linky for this week's sketch challenge. What do you see in it? You can also see the rest of the gorgeous cards made by our talented Design Team.

Bye for now,

Tina
