Use up a magazine kit #10 – KCC19

I decided to revisit KCC19 again but this time with the Use Up A Magazine kit series I am doing over on my YouTube. So first I filmed the cutting and organising part of the project and then I started making some of the cards – I still have quite a few to go (there are 15 card sketches in total so may take me a while!) but it’s a good project to pick up and put down as each sketch element is in an envelope ready and I have a pouch of bits and bobs ready to coordinate in terms of leftover cardstock I used for the mats and layers. I actually made the cards I am sharing today over a couple of days – proving the point that it is easy to work on this over time!

I started with sketch 15 (why not start at the end!) and this is the card I made!

This had three panels of the patterned paper and suggested the placement for the sentiment and the element to the left.

I chose a Kraft card blank for this one, a cream base layer and then lilac and pink card stock for the next layers.

After adhering the patterned paper to the pink I then decided to ink up the lilac cardstock with the plum ink and splatter water to give it a fun finish.

I stamped a sentiment (from a different stamp set) onto the pink panel and adhered it all together. I then decided to take some stamped elements that were leftover from another project and water coloured them with ink before fussy cutting.

I then added them to the small square panel.

I used card candi for the centres of the flowers.

And there is the first card done!

Card two I added a large panel and then those flowers as extra but you can still see the sketch underneath.

By adding the card topper to the 6×6 card blank it does give it a very different feel – but I think it works – especially when adding the elements off the topper panel.

Card candi for the flower centres also work well!

Card three I went with the hummingbird element instead for the focal feature.

The background Kraft layer I added gold embossing to with the floral stamps – a lovely but subtle touch.

This is such a simple but effective design with just two panels of patterned paper – and really shows why I love creating with Kendras sketches – so much fun!
