shining stars card sketch challenge
Are you familiar with our Product of the Month incentive? Spend $75 in product and you can get any Product of the Month (POM) that is still available for $5! You can only purchase the Products of the Month one time – (for instance spend $75 this month and you really want the Shining Stars October 2026 POM for $5 – spend another $75 and if the September POM is still available you can get that one for $5 but cannot purchase another October Shining Stars die set because you already got one of those)
This card used the left over watercolor paper from this week’s More Color Monday card using three of the colors from the Stampin’ Up! October Creative Challenge which is a color challenge!
If you missed that post I took a large water painter and brushed the surface of a Fluid 100 watercolor paper with an excess of water. Then I dropped color from three acrylic blocks that I squeezed ink refill bottle drops of ink onto. I allowed the Fluid 100 paper to dry and then die cut the Shining Stars die set from the watercolored paper!
This is also a card sketch challenge #136!
Measurements:
BASE: Hydrangea Hue CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
Fluid 100 paper: one sheet
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Using the Dark Hydrangea Hue Stampin’ Blends alcohol marker I flicked the brush tip side off the inside of the cap to make a splatter effect over the layer!
Take the watercolor paper and die cut lots of stars from the POM Shining Stars die set.
Adhere a medium and small star onto the sentiment piece.
I added five dots to the card to finish it off in total color coordination! These stars are so much fun! Try your hand at this card sketch challenge and see what little things you can add to your card! Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
