White Rose Crafts Monthly Card Challenge with Craft O'Clock - by Amber MacMurtry

Did you know that White Rose Crafts has a Monthly Sketch Challenge over on Facebook, now? 

Well, we totally do! I designed the sketch for this month, and I think its a really fun one! I decided to combine the sketch with this week's DT theme. This week we're highlighting a fantastic new brand from Poland that offers a wide variety of truly stunning paper collections, Craft O'Clock! I fell in love with the "My Cat Friend" collection and decided it would work perfectly for this month's sketch.

I dusted off the old hexagon stack, & a multi size circle background die from my stash and a Gina Marie Double Stitched rectangle die, and cut pieces from a variety of the patterns in the "My Cat Friend" collection, and assembled them, following the general guidelines of the sketch. Finally, I added a sentiment from Heffy Doodle's Whatcha Sayin' stamp set. I thought about adding some sparkles, but surprisingly, couldn't come up with an option I liked. 
(I know, that's just crazy!)

What would you have used to give this card some shine? Answer in the Comments!

Featured Design Team Series: How Do You Doodle? by EK Gorman

It's Saturday so that means it is time for a new Theme Week to start over at White Rose Crafts.  This week we are asking How Do You Doodle?  We doodle by using brands, especially Heffy Doodle and their fun line of dies and stamps and Doodle Paper Playground and their line of Sparkle Blend Sequin Mixes.

For my project this week, I pulled out both Doodle Brands and created an interactive card.  I used the Heffy Doodle die set Congrats  and the Beary Big Heart stamp set.  I die cut the 'Congrats' Out of the card, putting pack in the missing pieces onto the acetate.
Then I stamped the sweet little bear and gave him a quick color with my copic markers.
I added some shading around the card with some Distress Oxides in Shaded Lilac.

I filled the shaker bits section of my shaker card with the newly released Bubblegum Ice Doodles Paper Playground Limited Edition Sparkle Blends Sequin Mix.  I added some extra sequins from the mix all around the card to give it just little more sparkle and shine.
Make sure you share how you doodle all this week over on White Rose Crafts Facebook Gallery.  And if you you are in the market for some new Heffy Doodle stamps or dies, you can get 25% off your Heffy Doodle purchase all week long (until Friday August 17th) using the code Heffy25!
