Christmas Village

 Hi and welcome!  Today's card sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team was designed by Narelle Farrugia and here's the card I made with it:


I was originally going to use the rectangles as negative space but then remembered I had these hot foil plates that I'd never used so decided they would do the job.  I hot-foiled with gold onto white and then matted them onto gold mirror cardstock.  To make the background more interesting, I dry-embossed with a brick embossing folder.




The sentiment was also hot-foiled and matted onto gold mirror cardstock.  All in all, a fairly simple card.  I hope you'll check out the fabulous creations made by the design team.


Products used:

Cardstock:  White, Gold Mirror Foil
Dies:  Glimmer Winter Village, Holiday Sentiments Series 2 (Spellbinders)
Accessories:  Gold Foil, Brickwork Embossing Folder (Tim Holtz), Warm Pearls (Honey Bee Stamps)

Cheers
Karren

Karren, I can't believe how perfectly sized those foiled panels are for this sketch - hardly a challenge at all in your case!
Loving that brick embossing!
