Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Silly Safari Bundle includes cute animal images that are ready to be coloured using your favourite technique. 
 

The chimp image from the Silly Safari Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. The image was cut out with the coordinating 1⅞" Circle Punch, aligning the bottom of the stamped image with the bottom of the circle. The sentiment was then added using Old Olive Classic Stampin' Ink in the space left at the top of the punched circle. The chimp was coloured using Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends. A 2" Circle Punch was used to create a second circle from Early Espresso Cardstock, and this was adhered behind the stamped circle.

The palm frond image from the same stamp set was stamped randomly across the front of a folded Early Espresso card base using Early Espresso ink. A rectangle measuring 2¼" x 5" was cut from the Old Olive pattern from the Celebratory Sips 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and one of the short edges cut to create a banner shape. This was adhered directly to the card front.

A square of Crumb Cake Cardstock was embossed using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, and trimmed to measure 2¾" square. A length of Mossy Meadow & Gold ¼" Trim was wrapped around the embossed square and tied in a bow on the left-hand side. The solid leaf image, again from the Silly Safari set, was stamped twice on Basic White Cardstock using Old Olive ink and carefully cut out. The two leaves were added to the bottom left quadrant of the embossed square using Stampin' Dimensionals™. The stamped circle element was added to the centre of the square, also using Stampin' Dimensionals. Mossy Meadow Low Profile Sparkle Dots were added as the final embellishments.
