I love it when I can combine 2 challenges to make a card. The Merry Monday challenge is to create a card with an all white or all ivory base and to use brown or kraft for the sentiment and for accents. I chose to use the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as I thought the sketch would be ideal for the Merry Monday challenge.
Here is the sketch:
Here is my card based on both challenges:
I chose to use all white and the 2 embossed panels are from my scraps box. The main embossed panel is Whimsy by Lifestyle Crafts. The smaller embossed panel is Petals a Plenty by SU. I love it when I can start using up all my scraps. The sentiment which was stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia is from The Stamps of Life - Lights 4 Christmas and was stamped onto one of the Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die. The goldish lace trim is from my stash. The poinsettia die is by Dee's Distinctively Die set Poinsettia. I blinged up the poinsettia with some gold coloured teeny tiny rhinestones. This sketch would work for a variety of dies, trim and embellishments. I love how this card turned out and I will probably use it again using different dies, paper, ribbon and sentiments. It can also be used for different occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries.
Thanks for stopping by!
