Happy Monday! Time for a new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. This week we have yet another great sketch provided to us by Mary Jo, take a look.
I did a simple yet elegant card with this week's sketch using the new hostess set Simply Sketched.
I love that this sketch allowed me to make a card fairly quick. A few elements and I had an elegant sympathy card. I started out with a Baked Brown Sugar card base embossed with the Woodgrain EF. I stamped the bird on Glossy CS (boy am I sad about this retiring...) with black StazOn ink.
The image was colored in using a blender pen and ink pad for the lighter areas and markers for the darker shading. I sponged Baked Brown Sugar ink around the edges of the die cut from the Apothecary Accents set. The greeting was stamped last below the bird with black StazOn ink. I added in a stripe of Old Olive CS with the ends cut into banner shapes with the 1" square punch. And that's it, card complete! I can see me using this hostess set a lot. Not only does it have three beautiful images that can be colored in, but it has wonderful greetings.

I love this stamp set and can't wait to get it into my hands (tomorrow!) I also love the texture of this card and the colors are perfect!
Love the card. How did you do the shadow around the stamped image?
