Welcome to my blog where today I'm showing a card I made using the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Jen Mitchell is our sketch hostess this week and she has given us a square card, which are always fun to play with. Here's what I made:
This Spellbinders die set came to live with me a few weeks ago and I decided it made a good central focus for the sketch. I put it together almost identically to the packaging so no marks for originality there!
For the background, I went with Ocean Tide cardstock as that matched my CTMH patterned paper. I didn't measure my patterned paper panels correctly so fixed the blunder by adding two matte silver foil cardstock strips in between.
I then added the assembled sled and finished with a hot-foiled sentiment on black.
Thanks so much for visiting. Please check out the fabulous cards made by the DT.
Products used:
Cardstock: Ocean Tide (PTI), Holly & Ivy (CTMH), Amarena Cherry, Jellybean Green (MFT), Silver Matte Foil, Black, Wood & Notebook Basics (Snap), Blue Spruce (Spellbinders)
Dies: Welcome Winter Sled, Holiday Sentiments Series 2 (Spellbinders)
Accessories: Silver Hot Foil
Cheers

Fabulous holiday card! Love the diecut centerpiece! Perfect for this time of year.....where I live anyway - in your corner of the world you could hang a beach ball on your door ;)
ReplyDeleteThat fix perfectly tied those panels with the blades of your sweet skates, Karren! What a statement this would make on one's front door. Gorgeous!

Wow! The sled and the skates make such a great focal point on this holiday card. And blunder or not, I love the addition of the silver foil strips in the middle!
