White Rose Crafts August Sketch Challenge with Guest Designer Meghan

White Rose Crafts August Sketch Challenge: You're The Caramel Apple of My Eye

Hi Crafty Friends,

It is Meghan Kennihan and I am SO EXCITED to be Guest Designing for the next two months with White Rose Crafts! That means you will get to see three White Rose Crafts cards from me each month! I'm going to start with the Monthly Sketch Challenge to give you plenty of inspiration to get your card created and enter in the challenge! 

This month's optional theme is Back to School so I created this cute little apple themed card using Lawn Fawn's Caramel Apple Stamp.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: Do you like caramel apples? Do you get the fancy ones with candy and nuts on top or regular?

A: Me? I'm not a big "sweets" person and I hate how the caramel gets stuck in your teeth! I'd rather just eat the apple

I started my card with a red cardstock base, and added a panel with the apple paper. I then used square stitched dies to created the little squares in the sketch above. I used craft paper for the stripe down the left side.

Next, I added the gingham red ribbon, adhered the caramel apples to each square and added the sentiment. I finished my card by giving the caramel on the apples that shiny look with Glossy Accents.

Supplies:

White Rose Crafts Lawn Fawn Caramel Apple

White Rose Crafts American Crafts Red Ribbon  

Stitched Square Die

Kraft Paper

Red Cardstock

Apple Pattern Paper

July Sketch Challenge with Guest Designer Karen

Hello WRC Fans,

I must confess I am not always very good at following sketches or keeping a CAS design.  

I still follow the basic structure but my creativity tends to wonder from the path.  Even though I added more details and embellishments, the oval focal point is on the lower left with a sentiment and a vertical stripe.  

The proportions of the design look different as I used a square card base.  So don't feel too confined to follow a sketch challenge exactly.  Allow as much or as little as you need to guide your design while still allowing your originality to soar. 

I hope I have relieved some of the pressure you may have been putting on yourself to follow sketches and will join us for this months challenge. All the details can be found HERE.  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: 
Butterflies 6x6" Paper Pad

Timeless Botanical Butterfly Stamp (Kaisercraft)

Magnolia Jane Clear Stamp Set - Only You (Heidi Swapp)

Butterfly Ephemera

Blue Gems

Other Supplies:
chipboard oval

ink pads  (blue / grey / black)
watercolor paints

paint brush
watercolor paper
paper doilie
lace trim
ribbon

Don't forget there is still time to join the Sketch Challenge ending on July 31st and you just might just win a $15 WRC e-gift card. Pop on over to our to the Facebook Gallery and share what you are creating with us.  Create a card, a scrapbook layout, a tag, mix media project, or even a piece of altered art.
