Hi and welcome to a new sketch from the team at Freshly Made Sketches where this week our hostess is Judy Rozema. I sort of deviated slightly from the sketch but here's my card:
I wanted to make this gorgeous patterned paper the star of the show so mounted a panel onto a white mat then onto a white card base.,
My original idea was to have an embossed vellum panel for the horizontal strip but it gave me fits - first cracking, then when I added double-sided adhesive paper behind it, it turned it opaque! In frustration, I decided to use two simple glitter strips and make the sentiment the focus of the card.
Thanks for visiting. Please head over to check out the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team.
I'm linking this up to Sweet Stampin' Challenge who are looking for anything but a birthday card.
