I did some searching for sketch challenges and found one I liked -- earlier in the week. Now, although I have the sketch, I can't read where it came from! Sorry about that! However, here is my take on the sketch and it took less than 10 minutes -- which really worked into my schedule today.
I started with a Real Red card base. Laying on my desk, when I searched through the rubble, I found this embossed piece upon which I had used the Petals A-Plenty embossing folder. Just to change it up a bit, I used my Real Red marker and colored in all the flower centers and dots between the flowers.
I cut a smaller piece of Real Red cardstock and layered this with our Brushed Gold cardstock (isn't this stuff awesome!). I embossed a small portion of Scenic Season using Gold Embossing Powder on Whisper White cardstock and layered this onto my Brushed Gold cardstock and Real Red cardstock layer.
Next, I wrapped Gold cording all around the Whisper White embossed layered and tied a knot. I adhered my embossed stamped image over the larger white embossed piece and layered the pieces onto the Real Red base card.
The sketch called for a sentiment on the front, but honestly, I just didn't want to add it -- I like the simple elegance of this card as it is. Hope you agree!
I'll be back tomorrow. I'm really feeling so much better and am just trying to be careful with how much and how carefully I use my hands. Quick projects -- that is about all I'm good for right now, but I have lots of ideas swirling around in my head, especially since I've got new products coming! Sale-A-Bration starts in January -- have you booked your workshop yet? If not, give me a call and let's firm up a date for you and your friends and family!
