A Christmas Sketch

I created this card using the sketch challenge 3 at Craft Project Central.  I found it a little tricky in the beginning but in the end I think it came together rather nicely.

I embossed a piece of Whisper White card using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I stamped the greeting from the Word Play stampset onto Whisper White card using Chocolate Chip ink.  I attached a narrow strip of Chocolate Chip card behind a piece of Real Red Designer Paper from the Brights Designer Paper Patterns Stack and then attached it to the Whisper White card below the greeting.  This piece was then matted on a piece of Real Red card and then attached to the right hand side of the front of the embossed Whisper White card.  I wrapped a piece of Chocolate Chip 1/2″ Scallop Dots Ribbon around the Whisper White piece.   I stamped the images from the Tree Trimmings stampset onto Whisper White card, two using Chocolate Chip ink and one using Real Red ink and then cut the images out.  I attached linen thread behind the images. added dimensionals and then attached them to the front of the card making sure that the thread was attached behind the card.  The whole piece was then attached to a folded and scored Real Red card.

I love this card and would probably make more of the same layout, perhaps using different colours.

I’d love to hear what you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
