Global Design Project #558 - Sketch Challenge

What is better than a sketch challenge to stretch one’s creativity? This particular sketch challenge had me thinking in lots of layers!

Check out the challenge here - Global Design Project if you’d like to play along.

Using both stamps and dies from Learn & Grow and Extraordinary Life, I stamped and cut several images to create the layers necessary to stand in for each of the “panels” in the sketch.

Aren’t the little butterfly embellishments the cutest??? I also put a little scrap of Hydrangea Hue behind the slots on the sentiment panel to fill in the empty space.

Stamps: Learn & Grow, Extraordinary Life

Paper: Basic White, Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue, Gingham Gallery DSP

Ink: Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue, Black Memento

Accessories: Extraordinary Life Dies, 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies

Ohmygosh! I FINALLY got to make some daffodils using the Easter Basket Dies … I want to make them in every color possible!! (To be honest, I have about a dozen more I made just like these that I can use on future creations … I just couldn’t stop!).

The embossed layer was created using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, which I highlighted using a white gel pen.

Paper: Basic White, Bubble Bath, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green

Ink: Bubble Bath, Versamark; Stampin’ Blends - Melon Mambo, White Gel Pen

What do these colors make you think of? What kind of inspiration do you feel from them? I think they are great!
