Well, after a week’s rest, the Inkspirations Challenge Blog has a fantastic sketch challenge for you! Really, there are so many things you can do with it. Here it is:
I knew I wanted to use my Owl punch on this project – I just love it and don’t nearly use it enough! I also knew I wanted to use a fairly bold and bright colour palette so I decided on Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight.
I think most of what I did is fairly easy to discern but I’ll break it down a little on some of the little extras!
The Pumpkin Pie designer paper behind the owl piece is actually some of the First Edition designer paper which I’ve sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink.
The Daffodil Delight piece in the centre is actually a pocket. When you pull on the Pumpkin Pie button on the top, the owl piece comes out and is the perfect size to adhere a gift card to on the other side.
Okay, I meant to show you how cute it looks with a gift card attached but I guess I did not take a photo – but I think you get the idea!
Now it’s your turn! Head on over to the Inkspirations Challenge Blog and play along! Or, head on over to my co-design team members and see what they’ve done with this sketch!
