Kazan's Sketch 31


Just a little note from us... All of the 2S4Y Ultimate Card Showdown prizes were mailed out today! So if you were a winner you can start officially stalking your mailman now!
-Thank you
Laura & Kazan




Kazan first applied background color to her Stampbord tiles using her Copic Markers. After applying the rubon butterflies she etched into the tiles to create the white highlighted details.

2 Sketches 4 You has stumbled upon a fantastic product for all cardmakers. You may already be familiar with Ampersand Art's versatile Stampbord which they describe as "The most amazing stamping and crafting surface" and we have to agree! This versatile tile allows you to do just about anything to it to create gorgeous results on your cards. You can stamp, paint, ink, scratch, file and even drill into the wood backing to create Jewelry!

Our Design Team all worked with the Stampbord, which come in assorted sizes. Each one tried various techniques creating unique mini works of art. You can see the original state of the board and the tools the designers worked with on their blogs.


Angela

Angela used her square Stampbords to make this cute card with a picnic theme



Anja

For this card Anja used two different sizes of Stampbord. She inked the board, scratched the edges for detail and stamped the images.



Kim

Kim hand painted 4 small Stampbord tiles to create this beautiful mosaic focal point on her card.



Latisha

Instead of the squares, Latisha chose to use the rectangular Stampbords for her card. She repeated the Damask pattern from the paper to the tiles completing the look of this elegant card.




Lori
Lori chose to cover her Stampbord tiles with rubon lettering and beautiful shabby chic images to complete the look of this fabulous vintage looking card.


Bonus Sketch & Card



Clouds went for the more modernist approach on this ultra cool and groovy card. She used two different sizes of Stampbord to create the contrasting effects in the circle.

This week the uber talented Clouds Shadler created the Bonus Sketch and Card. We fell in love with Cloud's work the day she started playing along at 2S4Y and to have such a versatile talented card maker on our Team is truly wonderful. Not only are her cards amazing but Clouds is also a wonderful Photographer. Take a peek at all she has to offer on her blog: Clouds' Color Garden
