JAI 106 - just add a sketch

Hello there :)

yes I survived the second birthday party - it was mad, chaotic, involved a couple of dinosaur hunts and each kids had a turn to try and smash the cake - yes I did say smash the cake. I made what can best be described as a chocolate pinata - it was a hit (ha ha).  Here's a peek at it.

Ok on to this week's new Just Add Ink challenge - this week we have a sketch challenge for you - I quite liked this sketch - just something a little different and appropriately I used it to make a kids birthday card. Here's the sketch.

And the card

A shot to show you the embossing

Ok I started out by cutting three equal vertical panels, in a set of blues going from dark to light adhered those down to a backing mat, then wheeled them all with a stars wheel in versamark. Then embossed with clear embossing powder. I got exactly the effect I was after - yah!! Next I die cut and then stamped my rocketship. Then coloured with Copics. I added my rocketship to the bottom right corner on dimensionals. Then I stamped three flames, cut the yellow and orange in half and layered them to spread out under the central red flame and finished them off by adding some subtle glittery sparkle. The final element was to add a star up in the top left corner.  The inside was finished off continuing the space theme. Well that was short and sweet :) but I hoped detailed enough. I was certainly happy with the end result and so was the 4 year old recipient!

Thanks for visiting  - hope you have a chance to give the sketch a go this week.
