Stampin with Liz Design: Create a Smile Challenges!

Hi everyone! Are you all ready for a new Create a Smile Challenge? Today we are having a fun sketch theme! Can't wait to see what you will all create! I created a fun card with the All Hands on Deck stamp set to inspire you all with!

A sketch is certainly a fun way to get your creativity started. You can choose to follow a sketch the way it's designed or take parts from it into a free interpretation to get you started! As long as we can see the original sketch back into your design! I choose to look at it in a free manner, I took the three large stripes and thought it would be fun to use the flag poles to represent them!

I started my card with a white card base in A2 size (which is approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/2") and then diecutted a front panel with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die. I blended my panel with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink and added some splatters and white and Navy Blue drops with Nuvo Crystal Drops on to it. I stamped the word Yoho! twice from the stamp set before adding the images.

I then diecutted a second and third piece for my front panel, once with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die and again with a Snow Drifts die. I blended these with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink, to create beach sand. I then stamped, fussy cutted and coloured the fun images from the set with Copic Markers. I added them and the beach on to my card using dimensionals. Aren't these koala pirates adorable?

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time! Stay safe everyone!
