Hello All!
Welcome Back!
Today’s Card is for a Sketch Challenge from
Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #374
Here is the Sketch!
Optional Theme: Anchors Away
I was going to cut out my 2 elements…but decided to stamp them
right onto the card! I so like how it turned out!
Here is my take on the Sketch!
I did a ‘shadow technique’ on the ship and the anchor
to make them appear more dimensional. I first stamped
in Basic Gray and the over that, stamped in Black Memento Ink .
I then colored over the ship and the anchor with my
Clear Wink of Stella pen, to give it a little shine!
Here is a close-up to see the Clear Wink of Stella, see the shine?
I have to admit…the Clear, Wink of Stella is hard to photograph!
This Card looks so much better in person!
Here is the inside of my Card!
I also sponged the edges of the front AND the inside of my Card! I used
Sahara Sand Classic Stampin’ Ink for the sponging with a finger dauber!
On the card front, I used the Spritz Tool and spritzed Crumb Cake and Pacific Point
inks, from the Stampin’ Write Markers. I also spritzed the lower left corner inside
the Card, by the shells and starfish!

Oh, very gorgeous one-layer – what a great idea! I love how your sketch elements stand out, and the colors for your lovely background – beautiful! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
Cheryl – your treatment of the ship and anchor with the shadow technique really made them stand out. I thought they were cut out and attached at first! Thank you for playing along with us this week at TSOT! -Donna
This was fun…making the elements ‘different’ not separate!
