Artful Angel April Sketch Challenge - Stamping Not Required!

 Hello lovelies!  I just wanted to drop in to share another card I made for the challenge over at Artful Angel Takes Flight.  We are halfway through the month, so that leaves just two weeks to get your entries in! 

I made a second card using the sketch.  I really had fun with this one - and the best part?  No stamping involved AT ALL!  Seriously, just paper layering and some ink blending for interest. 
I am obsessed with plaid, especially red and black plaid!  Buffalo check?  Even better!  When I saw the Echo Park Let's Lumberjack 6 x 6 Paper Pad, I knew it was made for me!  
Did I mention that I did not do ANY stamping for this card?  LOL Sorry, I just love that this card was so simple (and FAST) to make! 
I did a lot of playing around with the different paper patterns in the pad until I came up with a combination that I was happy with.  The sentiment piece is just a square cut from one of the pages in the pad.  
For all of the patterned pieces, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the edges.  For the kraft pieces, I did the same, but I also ink-blended very lightly over the entire top surface just to change the color slightly. 
To finish up my card, I arranged my layers and adhered them using liquid glue and a brayer.  Are you familiar with that technique?   Lastly, I added a bow made from baker's twine.  
I hope that you love this simple card as much as I do!   Please make sure to join us in the Artful Angel Takes Flight group and enter the April Sketch Challenge! 
Thanks so much for stopping by
Xoxo, Kim
