The Workshop - Sketch Challenge for Creativation

Creativation 2019 is here! There are a few new releases that have my interest so far, but there's still another day to gorge on videos from the lucky people who actually get to be there. One of those lucky people is a lovely lady I know, Sheri, who owns The Workshop, a scrapbook, stamping, and papercrafting store in Stouffville, Ontario, Canada.

While she is at Creativation, she has a challenge for us to help us use up some supplies so we can splurge on new ones when they release after Creativation. It is a sketch challenge but also includes some specific supply challenges.

For today, I just used one of the sketches: Paper Play Sketch #019

I used a stamp set by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps that I bought at Sheri's store, Sweet As Can Bee.

I tried out making an alcohol ink background behind the honeycomb. It's only two colours: Butterscotch and Sand. I think it turned out interesting enough to be a background piece. I used Strathmoore Bristol Smooth cardstock to do it. It stands up better than regular cardstock to getting soaked with blending solution. (Since I used the applicator method to apply the ink, there's wasn't any actually soaking for this card.)

I found the perfect cardstock colours to match the colours in a set of photo mat blocks I bought well over 10 years ago - maybe over 15 even.

I coloured the bee and the honey pot with Copic Markers. I think this card would work well for a masculine birthday card! (I think I'll keep it for that purpose!) I video-taped the making of this card, but it was broken up by several interruptions. It will take me quite some time to edit the video - but I do have good intentions of posting it sometime!

Now I'm off to check out what Creativation videos came out since last I looked!
