Slimline Sunday

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday.


Todays card design was inspired by playing along to several card challenges:

Double Troubles Twisted Sisters 1 masculine theme, 2 die cuts - I have chosen to use Scenic Coast and Spot Light on Nature dies, 3 strips of paper or washi tape. 

Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch challenge #TSOT. I have stretched it to fit a slimline design.

Festive Friday Fathers Day #FFO211 I have chosen Masculine colours, textured metallic ribbon, patterned paper and a Fathers Day sentiment.


Sweet Stampin’ Something For the Boys challenge.


Time Out Challenge #TOC315 I have chosen a summer sunset by the water vacation vibe design.


I’m getting inky with the Scenic Coast stamps, dies, paper and sequins along with the Spotlight on Nature dies and Greeting for All ephemera pack along with Blueberry Bushel, Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Strawberry Slush inks and blending brushes. 


Final design results using a blended sunset as my backdrop for my 4 strips of Scenix Coast paper and the focal image of the lighthouse doe and Spotlight on Nature die to form a portal frame. I cut out in Basic White and used the blender brush and a pecan pie blender pen to color the circle and lighthouse features. Add some metallic gold bakers twine and popped up the Fathers Day sentiment after blending it with leftover Blueberry Bushel so the white wasn’t so stark. Added 3 sequins to finish it off.


Happy Stampin’
