Christmas Hoop

 Hi!  It's time for another sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team and our hostess this week is Linda Callahan.  I took her sketch and made a Christmas card for the stash.


For the vertical element in Linda's sketch, I took a hot-foiling plate and foiled it in gold foil onto a white panel.  I then stamped and die-cut the flowers, foliage and hoops and arranged them onto the panel. I finished with a gold-foiled sentiment on black cardstock and called it done!




Thanks so much for visiting.  The DT have some gorgeous cards so please check them out.


Products used:

Stamps:  Hoop Wreath (The Greetery)
Ink:  Aquatini, Rouge, Merlot, Twilight, S'Mores (Catherine Pooler)
Cardstock:  White, Black, Eiffel Tower (MFT)
Dies:  Hoop Wreath, Hoop & Fringe (The Greetery), Twilight Sparkle Strip, Holiday Sentiment Series 2 (Spellbinders)
Accessories:  Gold Hot Foil

Cheers
Karren

Love the foiling for the sketch elements and these rings are so great for the sketch.

Christmas? Can you be any more organised? Your card is just gorgeous as is that foreign sounding gold foil stuff...
