Ink & Inspiration December Blog Hop – Sketch challenge

Handmade card with a cartoon pug dog wearing a party hat, a cake with pink icing and lots of candles

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Sharni Green from Australia.

This month, our challenge is based on this sketch:

 

I am giving you a sneak peek at a new stamp set being released in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini catalogue, called One More Year.

Because I didn’t want the dog on top of the cake, or the cake on top of the dog, I’ve turned the sketch 90 degrees. I’ve used paper from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper pack (it’s a bit of a favourite of mine) so I’ve used colours from the paper for the cake and the dog’s party hat.

Since I couldn’t make the squares any smaller without chopping the pug image, I had to decrease the size of the sentiment piece, so it’s not quite following the larger piece shown in the sketch.

I’ve kept the inside very simple, with a strip of the same DSP and a starburst image (also from the new stamp set) stamped in Berry Burst.
