Hi! It's my turn to come up with the sketch for this week's challenge at
Freshly Made Sketches and, bizarrely for me, I went with angled panels. I have a thing for angled panels and try to avoid them whenever I can, but there they are in this week's sketch. Go figure!
I started by deciding it was time to start making a few Christmas cards. From January through June, the last thing I want to do is make Christmas cards, but once July rolls around, I start getting the urge to get some made before it's too late. I chose this cute Happy Pawlidays set and coloured this adorable chubby little pooch with Copics, making sure to match the colours with the cardstock I'd chosen for the panels. I then cut him out with my Scan n Cut and set him aside.
I couldn't think what to use for the horizontal panel so decided to use scoring and an embossing folder. I scored two lines to mimic the horizontal panel and then did some partial embossing with the Subtle embossing folder, leaving the horizontal panel clear. To further accentuate the panel, I added a very thin strip of matte silver foil beside each score line. Finally, I added a sentiment and some pearls.
Thanks so much for visiting. I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by the design team and give my sketch a go.
