Hello!
I hope all you British followers are having a great Bank Holiday weekend. Three day weekends are just the best. We've been doing a few jobs around the house, I've tidied my craft room a little and done some crafting too!
One of today's makes was using the Freshly Made Sketches' sketch for the week - just in time for the deadline once again! I was really pleased at such an interesting sketch to play with.
Stamp Set: Sweet Essentials
Ink: VersaMark
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana
DSP: Gold Foil Vellum, Afternoon Picnic
Big Shot: Circles Framelits, Chalk Talk Framelits
Embellishments: Gold Baker's Twine
Other: Gold Embossing Powder
The designer paper was ruffled up for a fun border - I actually had to stick 2 pieces of the paper together to make up the right length. I cut a thin strip of another pattern paper from the pack. I also added some baker's twine to the centre - it just finishes it off nicely and holds the papers in place a little better too!
I thought something light would work well for the half circle in the background. I also wanted more gold incorporated so the gold foil vellum was the perfect choice. I wanted more gold so cut out a few more hearts from the vellum sheets and added a gold embossed sentiment to the card.
Part of me wonders if there just a little something else missing from the card but I couldn't figure out what so decided to leave it rather than risk over-doing it!
Hope you like it!
Happy Stampin',
