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.

Love the card. How did you do the shadow around the stamped image?
