The Mighty Sea

Hello sketch lovin' friends!  It's time for a new sketch at The Sweet Stop...and, we have an exciting announcement to make!  We're having an Open DT Call!  The Sugar Babies are looking for a new design team member for the November 2012 to January 2013 term. If you would like to be considered, please submit a project using today's sketch and add DT Call after your name when uploading your card using the Linky Tool at The Sweet Stop!  Have fun with the sketch...and good luck!

I found myself reaching for the beautiful clear stamp set called The Sea from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for my sample today!  As vast as the sea is that covers the earth, so is God's love for us!  This serene image of the ocean reminds me of the peace that the Lord brings to our lives...how comforting!

Creative Nugget:  I kept my card very clean today with a lot of white space.  I followed the sketch for the Night of Navy and patterned paper layers which were stitched to the Neenah Solar White card base.  The image was stamped onto an Oval Nestie while the die was still in place using Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The image was masked with Post-It notes and sponged with a variety of distress inks to create the clouds and the sunset.  A little bit of Baker's Twine was added around the fishtail banners to finish the card!  That's all...easy peasy!

Check out the other talented Sugar Babies for more fabulous inspiration!
