Posted on August 29, 2022August 14, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge to work with. I love a sketch as it really pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you look your supplies in a totally different way. I have chosen to use the Wonderful World dsp which we only have for another 2 days.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the wonderful world card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Wonderful World dsp – 5” by 1” x 4
Wonderful World dsp – 4⅛” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White

I chose 4 patterns of the Wonderful World dsp and cut them into 5” by 1” strips. These were added to the Thick Basic White card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The stitched circle was lying on my desk, left over from another project and had been die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Dies and a 3¼” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. I placed the circle into my Stampartus, placed the fox, from the Stylish Sketches stamp set onto the circle and picked it up with the door.

I inked the grass using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the fox using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped down on the circle. I repeated the re-inking to get a darker image. I used a water Painter to blend out the ink n the fox and set it to dry.
