Burn Bright

Hey there!!

I'm sharing a card today that i made for the Seize The Sketch Challenge! This is the sketch:


For my card i flipped the sketch up and then instead of slapping on a notched banner i created one with ink. I used some copy paper (b/c its thin) and trimmed it to the width that would fit my stamps and then i notched one end. I used a little repositionable adhesive and adhered it to some pattern paper.

Then i used 3 distress ink pads and my blending tool to add the 'halo' around the banner. I pulled up the banner and decided to keep it to use on another card! Next i stamped the light bulb from The Alley Way Stamps Lighter Then Air set. I colored the light bulb with distress markers, using the same colors as the 'halo'

Next i rounded the corners of my pattern paper and adhered it to my kraft card base. Last i added 3 wood star veneers. I thought about added glitter to them or color, but decided that anything more what take away from my inking!
