Kim's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was a doozy but I pulled out an older stamp and die set to make a card. The sketch is square but I don't usually do square cards and this set works in an A2 format.
PTI's Happy Harlequin stamp set and coverplate has been in my stash for fourteen years. I've learned a thing or two since then to make the stamping easier. First I embossed the coverplate onto white cardstock. Then I cut a panel and used it as a template to align the stamps on the die cut pieces using shades of gray and brown from Altenew to make this a masculine card. Once stamped, the harlequins were arranged and glued onto the embossed background. The sentiment is from Spellbinder's Just Add Cake. I had a few leftover pieces so plan to make another card like this.
Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Wow! You know how to pull out those older ones and make them shine! I love this for the sketch, and you've centered those perfectly, sometime that I too struggled with... maybe I'll try again one day
