Welcome! Today's card is for the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches where it is my turn to host. As usual, I came up with a simple sketch and used the wide open space in the middle to create a small scene for this cute jukebox stamp.
After stamping and Copic-colouring the jukebox, I fussy-cut it out and set it to one side while I created the background. I stamped one of the images from the On The Ground set and coloured the black squares with Copics. I then masked off that area and lightly sponged mint ink above that, fading into white.
I then gold-embossed the sentiment and bordered the long edges with gold foil cardstock. The card base is white, but I added two black strips I'd embossed with the Window Slats embossing folder. There are no embellishments because I made this for a male.
Thanks so much for visiting. I hope you'll play along this week after checking out the fabulous cards made by the design team.
