May 2023 Sketch and Color Inspiration

 

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

We can all use a little inspiration every now and again. When that happens, I seek out templates/layouts or sketches that inspire me.

Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
The simple sentiment on this card means it can be used for so many different occasions. It uses Copper Clay, one of the colors in our new 2023-25 In Color™ Collection, but it could easily be made with any of our In Colors.

Using the 2 ⅜" Circle Punch, two semicircles were cut from the top and bottom of a Copper Clay Cardstock layer. A Copper Clay patterned paper strip, cut from a sheet of Designer Series Paper from the In Color 6" x 6" DSP pack, was adhered across the center of the cardstock layer. This panel was then attached to the Basic White Cardstock base using Stampin' Dimensionals. A circle was cut from the same DSP sheet using the 2" Circle Punch and cut in half. Each half was adhered directly to the Basic White Cardstock, filling the gaps left by the semicircle apertures in the Copper Clay layer, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the sentiment, a circle was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the 2 ⅜" punch. The sentiment was an assembly of three separate stamps from the Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp set, arranged on a Clear Block before being stamped onto the Basic White circle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The circle was then added to the center of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
