Beate’s weekend sketch challenge #50

Happy Friday!  That means it is time for another one of Beate’s wsc…..#50 that is! 

I took my pics in natural sun light for once and there are some shadows.  I added upclose pics so you can see some of the details better:)

  

Always good to have a baby card handy.  I thought I would use this sweet pea in a pod image from Lockhart Stamp Co.    Also wanted to use this cute silver rattle charm.  I carried the “silver” theme throughout the card for balance.

For the pea image, I actually stamped the image twice so that the top of the pod had more dimension to it (I know they aren’t called leaves, but the 4 little “stemy-things” at the top — I stamped, colored, adhered the upfront 2 of the 4 so it appears more realistic..KWIM).  I masked and omitted the stem for the pod because I wanted to create it with silver wire.  The buttons have the silver wire as well.  Added a touch of Crystal Effects to the little peas for the finishing touch to the main image.

  ignore those shadows:)

Here is an upclose of the charm, ribbon, dry-embossed circles, and scalloped textured cardstock.  I like all the subtle different textures on this card.

 

Head on over to these sites to see more wsc samples:

Ugghhh for me!  I worked last weekend and I’m working this weekend as well.  Somehow I have to work friday night, think of stamping, attend a wedding from 11-3 that is 1hr away, think of stamping, come home, sleep briefly, head back to work for another night shift, assist hubby with opening the pool, think of stamping, nap, back to work, think of stamping…lol  I’ll definitely be thinking of blogging and creating:)  Hope you have a wonderful weekend:)
