Sketch & Color Challenge

 

Today is the 15th and this is my card this month for our The Creative Crew!  We are a group of 7 and all one team--Jeanette, Carol, Darlene, Lorraine, Terry, Tracie and me. Each month will be a new challenge posed by one of the members sending out a kit. This month, Jeanette and I came up with a challenge for June as it is the last month of our first round with the new group!  We decided to do a combined sketch and color challenge.   Jeanette created a sweet sketch for this month and I randomly pick card #74 from my Color Cube. 

We are to use 3 of the 5 colors from the cube and create a card with the sketch from Jeanette.  I think this is a very fun challenge and from the chatter from some of the group before today, it seems like others also like it.  So--you might see more in the future!

I picked my Stampin' Up set called Sailing Home as I the colors are quite tropical or water related. I stamped the lighthouse with Taylored Expressions Mocha and the sentiment from the same set in Blue Raspberry--both colors are depicted on the card.  I die cut both items from the set's matching dies.  I used the same two cardstock colors and die cut the top layer from my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2.  I then used a stitched rectangle die and cut a piece of vellum to layer under the lighthouse.  I added a strip of Stampin' Up's Maritime Designer Series Paper that I cut at an angle after using ML2. The final step was adding 3 enamel dot.    This was a very fun card to make!

I hope all of The Creative Crew Gals enjoy my card this month.  Please be sure to stop in to see what fun crafty cards are posted this month.  All of the blogs can be found on my left sidebar.  Our teammate Lorraine does not have a blog, so please check out her card in her SCS gallery.   I am sure you will enjoy all of the colorful creations this month!   

We will be back in July with another challenge that Jeanette and I will be creating!  Be sure to check in with us on the 15th to see what fun we  have planned!
