Collage Curios - Sketch Frenzy Friday

Well my crafty friends-- It's Friday again, and also a day for another snow storm .  We're expecting up to 30cm of the white stuff - that's the most snow in one dumping in about 5 years.  I guess my son will be busy with the shovel, but perhaps my neighbour will help out with the snow blower.

This is my card for Sketch Frenzy Friday this week.  It is based on a sketch done by our very talented  Patrice Herrerra. The sketch was a lot of fun, and perfect for some of the smaller stamps we have now.




 

Most of the images were colored with SU markers directly onto the stamps, punched out with the l" circle punch, layered with cardstock punched with the 1" square punch, and finally with the postage stamp punch.  It was kind of fun doing all that layering as I loved the look it gave to the card.

Stamps:  Collage Curios, Just for You
Inks: Black Stazon, SU markers, Gumball Green
Papers: Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Tea for Two DSP, Gumball Green
Accessories: 1" circle punch, 1" square punch, Postage stamp punch, 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punch, Scallop oval punch, Ruffled calypso coral ribbon, dimensionals

Hope you can join us at SFF this week. I'd love to see what you do with the sketch. When you have finished your creation don't forget to use the linky to upload it to the SFF blog home page.

Great use of the stamp set. Most of what I have seen of the Collage Curios is with the soda pop tops, so it's nice to see another usage.

Stay warm my friend! It sound like it is going to be quite a storm! I thought all the little stamps we now have avail would be perfect for this sketch. I really like the Calypso Coral and the Gumball Green are a perfect match! Your card has a lot of fun elements to it, there is so much to see..
