Cards for OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #84

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #84

I made three cards today based on the OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #84 although I turned its direction.  From a OWH cardmaker's point of view, which one would you like to make for card kits.  As Cora wrote on the OWH Facebook, it is time consuming to make card kits.  It is easier to complete a card that you can play with more dimensionals and embellishments. So let's focus on making card kits for other cardmakers.  Please comment what you think.

When I got hundreds of these 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" sized blank reception cards from Karen R. and I was excited.  It is a perfect size to have a stamped image and a sentiment to go with or just a larger image in it.  It's made of very heavy cardstock and good for stamping or coloring with markers. 

Since it was debossed already, I just stamped an image and colored. I added the full moon by sponging a negative side of punched out circle.

For the first card, I trimmed the edges with a die cut because it looked plain with wider borders.  I wasn't sure whether I like it or not, frankly speaking.

For the second card, I cut the image out and layered with a colored cardstock and layered on another cardstock that I trimmed the edges with a die cut. This means that you need to cut two more times. However, it brings out the focal image better.

For the third card, I added the ground by sponging and corners in shape with a corner punch.  This means you need to play more techniques and do more work.  You might even like to add some more things like blings, buttons or anything.  I didn't feel like to do it though.  I should keep it easier for other cardmakers to assemble.  Otherwise I should do all of these pre-work by myself as usual.

  For these cards, I used:

Stamp: Penny Black "Student Witch"

Paper: K&C Company Specialty Paper, SU Cardstock

Ink: Stazon Black, Copic markers, SU ink pad

SU corner punch, black ribbon
