Soul Music Card - Spesch Stamps

I used Max from Spesch Stamps for my card today, I love this little dude, did you know that when I craft I hum tunes not sure why but I always do it, I also do it when getting undressed for bed I’ve always as long as I can remember done this.

When I’m at work and I’m designing and deep in concentration I also hum, it makes one of the artists stick his head phones on “go figure”.

Now I reckon that if you added some pink into the equation here, that this card could pass as a girls card with that innocent face.

I used DCWV designer background papers layered with black card I made some mini CD’s and a note and tied some music note ribbon to finish.

Card Ideas–Sketch Layouts

One of the things I get asked most is how I think up card designs, well I thought long and hard about this & to be honest I’m not really sure, they seam to pop into my head triggered by every day things.

Now that doesn’t help anyone that asked me so I thought a would do you some card sketch layouts as examples of what can work as card designs. I have a batch of 6 to start you off.

 

I do hope these are of some help to you all.

Three Trees

Three Trees by Just Inklined I love nature cards, so easy for so many occasions.

Coloured with Promarker and Flexarkers by Letraset sentiment is from Stampin Up set and the Embossed leaves are a sizzix embossing folder from the Fall set, the shiny leaf was stamped out of copper sheet and then heat applied to make it turn pretty colours, the time piece was from my stash.
