I have a confession to make. As you read this, it’s the fourth Tuesday of the month meaning it’s time for a sketch challenge. The post was however written a week ago because I am currently enjoying myself on my first ever Stampin’ Up! incentive trip. The trip is a cruise to Alaska and at present we should be cruising the Tracy Arm Fjord.
Here’s Jeanne’s sketch.
This is what I came up with after a bit of thinking and playing around.
Recognise the colours? I’ve reused Lemon Lime Twist and Coastal Cabana, two of the colours from last week’s challenge. I had the cardstock and ink sitting on my desk and it seemed a shame not to put them to use again. It also meant I didn’t have to go put them away!
The stitched lines were stamped using a single line stamp from the Swirly Frames stamp set. Once I had finished stamping the lines on the Whisper White cardstock, it made me think that it looked like a handkerchief. Even more so after I’d added the sentiment from the Varied Vases stamp set.
Cutting Instructions
- Lemon Lime Twist card base – 10.5 x 29.7 cm (A4 cut in half along its length)
- Coast Cabana strip – 4.5 x 10.5 cm
- Whisper White inside – 10.0 x 14.4 cm
- Whisper White on front – started as 10.0 x 14.4 cm. Fixed to card front using non-permanent tape. Turn card over and draw around the card base and then cut with a pair of scissors.
All in all, the card was really simple to make and I love it’s clean and simple look.

Happy stamping.

I love this card, great colors.
This is great Fiona! I LOVE how you outlined the panel with the line stamp. I have that stamp set but have not inked it up yet – you’ve inspired me. I hope you’re having a great time in Alaska!
LOVE this card, Fiona! I like how you used the stamping to accentuate the angles of the card!
