Unscripted Sketch with Dude Time Doodles

Happy Wednesday! Usually I post my Dude Time Doodles' Design Team project on Wednesdays, but it's a free week so I thought I'd just make a card and take the opportunity to remind you that Bonibleaux Designs/Dude Time Doodles has some great February deals!

Unscripted Sketch #146

CR84FN Color Challenge

I used this week's Unscripted Sketch, with the "piggy-back" challenge of Stitching, and the cool combo of chartreuse, gray & pink per the CR84FN Color Challenge. I was also inspired by the Print It challenge at The Pink Elephant. 

I created the print pattern for the background paper in InDesign, using several fonts. If you'd like it, let me know and I'll send you a TIF or PDF (your choice).

I dry-embossed the cut background pieces with a polka-dot pattern, and then sanded it.

These great image & sentiment freebies are from Marlooney. You can find her hilarious images at Dude Time Doodles as well as Squigglefly.

One sketch, four challenges

I liked this week's Unscripted Sketch so much, I used it twice: for Cupcake Inspirations #126, and the Play Date Cafe Color Splash Challenge.

For the Cupcake Inspirations card, I took a cue from this week's Pile it On challenge and piled on a Boatload of Anything with a B: Buttons, Bows, Brads, Baby (theme), Bliss (sentiment), Butterflies, Blue (for sentiment heat-embossed color).

Inspiration:

Pile it On #36: B is for Buttons, Bows, Brads, Anything that begins with B!!

Stamps: Stampin' Up!
Paper: Hammermill, Recollections, stash
Tools: Fiskars papercutter, stamp block, Marvy heat tool
Other: ZipDry glue, Recollections embossing powder, Versamark ink, Offray & stash ribbons, Michaels brads, stash buttons

I always love the cards for the Play Date Cafe Color Splash Challenge. The combo of black and white with just a splash of color is so striking. I haven't participated in a while and I'm so glad I did! Not sure what possessed me to white-emboss on white paper, I but I really like the result. The stamped pieces are raised up with pieces of cardboard I cut & edged in black.
