The Challenge Guest Designer
I'm honored to be April's Featured Designer at The Challenge which appears every Monday on Lesley's blog. The themes rotate each week & we start with a sketch.
I had fun making a card to send when the recipient isn't expecting one, but this sketch works for any occasion. It was great to use a NBUS die & stamp. Don't worry--I'll still have plenty to use in September--haha!
Foiling on self-adhesive fun foam is one of my favorite techniques & gave me beautiful PTI Small Sketched Stars. The background was made using MFT Striped BGs with VersaMagic Pink Petunia & Aquatic Splash. The stars are mounted to a panel of vellum attached to the plaid piece. A blogging friend gave me the W&W die cut which I white embossed & then covered with Crystal Stickles. Thought about dry embossing the card front, but decided to use some silver thread instead. A few PPP marshmallow sequins finish it off. Hope I've inspired you to join the gallery. I'm also entering SSS Work it Wednesday & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Sweet!!!!!
