Repeat Impressions Sketch #F2013

Its What If? Wednesday at Repeat Impressions.  I know I say this every time but they have another awesome sketch for us this week.  I love sketches like this.  Its a perfect way to create a classy CAS card.  It almost creates itself.

Here's my take on this sketch.  I wanted to keep this card very simple and elegant.  I stamped this lovely RI verse - Beautiful Day - 9206, then I used this Sizzix embossing folder above the verse.  I flipped the card stock and embossed it again below the verse.  Embossing in this way gave my focal point that elegant, simple, classy look I was going for.   Beyond that, I basically followed the sketch to every detail.  Like I said, this sketch basically creates itself.

Here's a close up....

Here are the amazing cards from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.  Aren't they all lovely?  Try it for yourself.  Create a card using this lovely sketch, link it on the RI blog and you will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win an amazing prize - $25 gift certificate to the RI store.  Go here to see the full rules.

Don't forget, there also is last weeks DCC challenge - using your favorite stamp - hopefully your favorite is an RI image, but if not, that's okay too.  Feel free to play along.  You still have another week to participate.  Go here to see the full rules.

Please note:  I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Victorine Stamps - stamp, emboss & embellish - Ends mid March
• The Shabby Tea Room - A silver lining - Ends 2/24

As always, I hope that I've stayed within the rules of the challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by

What If? Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Iris Window

It's Wednesday....... What if? Wednesday to be more specific, so Repeat Impressions has a great sketch challenge for us. 

Here it is.

Here is my vision for this sketch.   I used Repeat Impressions image - Iris Window - 919-I.  I colored it in with my Copic markers and used my colorless blender to give the background a softer cloud-like appearance. 

Here's a close up of that gorgeous Repeat Impressions image - Iris Window - 919-I.  

Now is your chance to have some fun and play along.   All you have to do is create your interpretation of this sketch.  Link your card on the Repeat Impressions blog - The House That Stamps Built. You don't even have to use a Repeat Impressions stamp but we would sure love it if you did. Playing along is fun and you have a chance to win an awesome prize - a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions store.  See the full rules and instructions here.

Thanks for stopping.  More soon!!
