I  think the Glossy Accents adds a lot to the finished project!

I was having so much fun with the sketch that I couldn’t stop at just one card. So I made a card using our Emma SWIC and the stamp set T3383 – Rise and Shine.  I stamped the image with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  I am really loving these markers. I inked around the edges of the card and the rectangle with Momento Potters Clay ink. Then I stamped the sentiment on an Emma tag, added a flower and brad from D314 – Polo Mini Blossoms and used pop dots to make the tag stand out a little.

 

 I don’t usually use a sketch for designing cards so it was a little challenging at first.  When I start planning a card I first think about the occasion and then choose an appropriate stamp for the occasion.  Then I play with how I want the card to look. Certain stamps go better on a horizontal layout and others work better with a vertical layout. Working with the sketch made me reverse the process. I had the layout and had to then figure which stamp sets would work best. Lastly I chose the color scheme.  Made me think outside my box, which is a good thing!
