A Box of Celebration


Hi and welcome!  I'm back with a card for the latest from the team at Freshly Made Sketches.  This week our hostess is Amy O'Neill and she has a wonderful sketch for us:

I had some fun with this sketch and came up with a bright and cheerful birthday card.



I stamped the box onto Desert Storm cardstock and cut it with my Scan n Cut.  I then shaded the sides of the box with a Copic marker.  I also cut a slit across the top of the box and creased the edge to give it some dimension.  I colored the wrapping papers with various Copics and again used my Scan n Cut to cut them out.  After arranging the papers inside the "box", I used some foam tape to pop up through the centre of the box and adhered it to the card base over some patterned paper.


The sentiment was die-cut after coloring a piece of white cardstock with Copic markers in an ombre fashion.  The rest of the sentiment came from a PTI set.  


Thanks for visiting!  Please head on over to check out the cards by the rest of the design team.

You always have such fabulous details -- like the shading on the box, inserting the papers into the box, the ombre sentiment... I could go on. I always have such fun looking for all these special touches. I love how you used the sketch, and I love the bright colors.
