Big Hugs

It's Freshly Made Sketch Challenge Day and this week our hostess is none other than the very-talented Jen Mitchell who always amazes me with her fabulous cards.  Jen's sketch is so cool - I loved it as soon as I saw it!

Unfortunately, while I may have loved the sketch, my mojo wasn't present when I was trying to make my card!  

I wanted to do an emboss resist on the top part of the card so dug around in my stamps for a suitable image.  I found an old, old wood mount stamp from a company called Just for Fun and decided to use that.  I white embossed that onto a panel of watercolor paper and sponged on Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Barn Door and Fired Brick ink from right to left across the panel.  I saw this color combo on Pinterest and thought it looked gorgeous!

Once the panel was finished, I cut it down to size and mounted it onto a black stitched scallop piece.  The banner was white embossed and glued to the card base and the top panel and scalloped piece is mounted on foam tape.  I tied some kraft colored twine around the panel to bring in the Antique Linen ink a bit more.

Thanks for visiting!  Be sure to check out the wonderful creations from the rest of the design team.
