Hi all and welcome to another Freshly Made Sketch Challenge where our hostess this week is Jacquie Southas. I decided to go a bit technique-y with my card and came up with this:
I have had Perfect Pearl pigment powder for years and years and years and it was so cool to see Jennifer McGuire use them to create fun backgrounds. So I had a go and came up with this background which I used for today's sketch.
I die-cut a black panel and a silver foil panel with a curved border die and ran the black panel through the Subtle EF. I adhered both panels onto the Perfect Pearl background with foam tape and then onto a white card base. The sentiment was die-cut three times from white and once from black gloss cardstock and stacked together before being added to the card with foam tape.
Thanks for visiting. The DT have gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.
