Sketch Saturday - Sweet Old Friends

Have you checked out the new Winnie the Pooh products yet? I’m loving the classic, original artwork—such a fun throwback! For this card, I used the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper to create the background scene and even die-cut Piglet right from the paper. The sentiment comes from the Banner Sayings Bundle.

Here’s the sketch I used. It’s from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Tips & Instructions

• Early Espresso Card Base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4

• Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper - cut one of the scents into three 1-3/8 x 3-1/4 strips, keeping them in order.

• Adhere the strips to the Hydrangea Hue layer.

• Wrap a piece of Hydrangea Hue Bordered Ribbon around the layer and adhere to the back. Slip a another piece of ribbon under it and tie a knot. Adhere the layer to the card base.

• Die cut piglet from the Designer Series Paper using the Sweet Old Friends Dies and adhere to the card with Dimensionals.

• Stamp the sentiment from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set in Early Espresso ink and punch with the coordinating Three Banner Punch. Adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
