Hi All, Happy start to a new week! Here's my take on a clean and simple masculine birthday card using the Fall to Layout Sketch 172. I combined new rubber -- SU's Faith in Nature's pear stamp -- with a sentiment (Pears and Raspberries set) and paper (Juicy Strawberries set) from Doodle Pantry. I stamped the image in Versafine onyx black ink; then heat embossed with clear EP. Coloring was done with Copics. It's been a while since I used rubber and I really missed being able to resize the image to fit my Nestabilities -- had to used larger dies than I would have liked. Oh well, you can't always combine the best of both worlds completely.
Challenges:
Clean and Simple FTL172 -- Sketch
Birthday Sundaes Challenge #38 -- birthday sentiment, optional something new. I used new rubber.
Crazy for Challenges (C4C118) -- Use something new. I used new rubber.
Crafty Creations Challenge #151 -- Heat Embossing
