Coast to Coast Creators Hop - Sketch Challenge

       Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! This month we have a fun sketch we are working with!



I loved this sketch from the moment I saw it months ago and I asked our teammate Kisha if she could recreate a version we could use for one of our hops and here it is!

You can see that I have been quite literal with the layout, only changing from flowers to balloons. This card was quick to come together once I decided on the elements I wanted to feature.


I don't have any good flower stamps/dies in my current collection so I started off knowing I was going to used the Balloon Festoon Dies.  Next, I decided to work with the bright and fun Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. 

I loved how the different patterns made for perfect balloons without me needing to do any stamping!



I love the effect you can get on Basic White cardstock of scoring a design into the cardstock to add some texture and interest.  I used my scoreboard but you could also use your scoring blade on your trimmer. It's such a simple thing but it has such a big impact.




I took some liberty with the bow/ribbon in the sketch and instead used the streamer stamp from the Balloon Festoon stamp set and stamped along the strip of Pretty Peacock. I then stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Pretty Peacock.  Lastly, I added a few die cut balloon strings and a bow from twine.  I really like how this turned out and know I will turn to it again to make a quick card when I need one in a hurry!


I can't wait to see everyone else's interpretation!
