When a Sketch is Perfect!!!

 Hello family, friends and followers, it's time for a new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and here to tell you all about it is one of Lee's famous graphics.



L is for Layers

Now I love layers the more the merrier but wow do they cost when you take them to the post office, When I saw Mojo Monday's sketch for March I knew it was perfect for what I wanted to do, although some of my layers are a bit off as my image was larger than the posted size. That is what is perfect about Mojo Monday the measurements are on the sketch. First I decided that it had to be a square card to fit everything.

First cut the three skyline dies in both black and white to offset for dimension I popped te middle line up and cut a frame which I elevated at the bottom but flat attached at the top. I blended three colours of Distress Oxide ink to make the sky. Then followed the sketch.


closer look at the buildings and sky


No snark today on my card, as I mentioned on my wolf post I have 6 masculine birthday cards to make every year for family this is #2 finished ready for giving (too heavy to mail) I love this sentiment and it works perfect for a "sun" card.

I'm entering this in;

Mojo Monday Sketch ~~ March

AAA Birthday Challenge ~~ Game 23 Patterned Paper


Thanks for stopping by today and head over and check out the rest of the project the design team have made for the challenge (there is snark) just click HERE.

What a fab make, Barb! Love all the layers and that sky is amazing. If I tried to make a card like this I'd get a stress nosebleed (I can only do CAS) but you carry it off beautifully and create a stunner! Jo x

Gorgeous late afternoon sky for your triple skyline of buildings, Barbara! The offset layering is brilliant. And I knew there was a reason I gave up on Mojo Monday sketches - so many layers! :D

I'm a total sucker for a city skyline, either in crafting or in real life, so I really love this. Great use of the sketch too.
