Sketch Challenge with My Digital Studio

I haven't had much time for stamping lately, but I wanted to do at least one sketch challenge today. I used My Digital Studio to do the sketch at Stamping 411. I still can't get over how easy it is to use!

My Digital Studio

My copy of My Digital Studio arrived a few days ago but I've been too busy to play with it - until tonight! I am amazed (and pleased) at how easy it is to use!

Upsy Daisy on Faux Silk

• Stamps: Upsy Daisy
• Paper: Rich Razzleberry designer series paper and Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry and Mellow Moss cardstock
• Ink: Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin' pad
• Accessories: Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware

Autumn Splendor

Another challenge card for today! This card is based on the sketch challenge at Pals Paper Arts. I used Autumn Splendor again. For not liking this set when I ordered it, I sure get alot of use from it. I love the detail that it stamps on the leaves. I stamped the leaves in VersaMark and then embossed with gold embossing powder. The edges of the Not Quite Navy and Chocolate Chip layers are distressed with paper snips.

• Stamps: Autumn Splendor, Teeny Tiny Wishes
• Paper: Really Rust, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip cardstock
• Ink: Versamark
• Accessories: Gold Stampin' emboss powder, Natural hemp twine, Metallic eyelets, Modern Label punch

Happy Bearthday

Here's another sketch from Stamping 411. Sketches are a great starting point for card making. For this card I used the new Pawsitively Prints designer series paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I stamped the bear from Beary Best friends and colored him in with my Stampin' Write Markers. Stampin' Up!'s colors makes color coordination so easy. I never have to worry about finding the right shade of card stock to go with my favorite printed paper. SU! matches it for me! The balloons on the card are stamped on the Pumpkin Pie card stock and then stamped on So Saffron and Ballet Blue cardstock. I punched them out with a 3/4" circle punch and adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.

• Stamps: Beary Best Friends, Beary Nice Wishes
• Paper: Pawsitively Prints designer series paper, Ballet Blue, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Whisper White card stock
• Ink: Jet Black StazOn ink pad and Ballet Blue, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel Stampin' Write markers
• Accessories: 3/4" circle punch and Stampin' Dimensionals
