Just a Note

Hi all!  Jen Brum is our sketch hostess at Freshly Made Sketches and she has given us a fun sketch!  I went very simple and let patterned paper and hot foiling do all the work. 


The camera has turned these colours muddy but they're actually a pretty ombre pattern with a dark burgundy at the bottom, fading up to pinky tones.  Originally I was going to die-cut six pieces and line them up on the card base, leaving a gap for the sentiment (as per the sketch), but I had fits trying to get these all lined up so ended up cheating and using three panels and adding the sentiment over the top!


The sentiment is hot foiled and I found some Rose Gold foil cardstock to mat the sentiment to make it pop a bit more.  I finished with some pearls in a matching colour.

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you'll head over and check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.

Products used:

Cardstock:  White, Rose Gold Foil, You Are Enough (CTMH)
Dies:  Stitched Rectangle Stax (MFT), Essential Glimmer Sentiments (Spellbinders)
Accessories:  Rose Gold Hot Foil, Warm Pearls (Honey Bee)

Cheers

    I don't call that a cheat, Karren - I call it using your 'noodle' and making the job easier! It's fabulous!

    Love the ombre stripes and completely avoided having to line up the stripes, too.

    I love the ombre! Your foiling is so awesome. I need you to come teach me how to use my system. It's been in a box for two years!
