So Many Smiles

This week’s Nacho Average Challenge sketch is a simple one–but those simple ones can be deceptively difficult to work with. The Nacho design team has made some gorgeous cards. Go check them out!


Here’s the sketch–looks simple enough, right?

Here’s the card I came up with, using the Traveler stamp set.

(Stamp Sets: Traveler, Petite Pairs; Ink: Early Espresso; Card Stock: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Basic Black; Accessories: Starburst and Circles Framelits Collections, 2-1/2″ Circle Punch, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Ticket Duo Punch)

I’m not sure I nailed it, but the elements of the sketch are there. I was tempted to do some sponging to make it a bit more vintage-y, but I left it clean and simple. I used the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder to fill in some of the empty space so that the background is not so empty.
