Today it's time for a new challenge over at Create With Connie and Mary and this week we have a great sketch challenge for you:
I decided to use the lovely 'Reason For The Season' stamp set on my card again today. Here's my card:
I decided to use the tone on tone stamping on my Real Red card base as it was so popular on my earlier card here. I used a band of Garden Green and a Garden Green mat for my Whisper White oval, cut with my Big Shot and Oval Framelits, and added a band of Real Red striped Holiday Fancy Foil Designer Vellum to the central band to add a little shine. I stamped my sentiment in black and then for my embellishment, I stamped the poinsettia three times on Whisper White and fussy cut each one, creating different layers of petals as I did so, so that when they were adhered on top of each other they have a real 3D effect. I also coloured some pearls with a yellow Sharpie and added those to the centre of my flower. Here's a closeup of the detail:
I love the effect you get with some good old fashioned fussy cutting and layering and for this card, no punch required. This set really is so versatile!
Do visit the other Design Team members to see how they used this week's challenge sketch; there's lots of inspiration over on their blogs too!
Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!
