JAI #626 - Just Add a Sketch

It's time for another challenge with Just Add Ink and this time there's a sketch for us to play with.


I really wanted to use some Stamperia goodies and as I was browsing through them, found a sentiment I absolutely loved and that gave me the perfect starting point for my card. You'll understand in a sec:


Isn't that saying fabulous? You can see now why I've got lions as my focal point and used the setting sun as my circle element - albeit behind the focal image rather than in front. I did juggle the sketch a bit, but all the elements are there. I used distress oxide sprays in warm tones to create the sunset and added texture by stamping cracks and splotches - hopefully they make you think of the dry, hot savana.

Materials used:

  • stamps - Create Happiness - Elements (Stamperia)
  • card - early espresso, basic white (SU), biscuit (Kaisercraft), watercolour, Savana Collectables (Stamperia)
  • distress oxide inks - wild honey, ripe persimmon, fired brick, aged mahogany, rusty hinge
  • other Tim Holtz products - ground espresso archival ink, Moon mask, water spritzer
  • other - sponge daubers, Dimensionals, craft foam, computer and printer, heat tool

What would you do with this sketch? We'd love to see it in the JAI gallery. There's also plenty more samples to inspire you over on the challenge blog, so do head on over and take a look.

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
Kerry
