Hello friends!! How Lucky can a girl get than to play with 2 great sketches in the same week??!. You know I Love a sketch. I find they are a great starting point!! This particular sketch inspired me to pull out our new two toned cardstock and start tearing!! The new cardstock is a bit lighter weight than our current cardstock and it is 2 shades different than the current cardstock, one on the front and one on the back. It’s fast becoming a new favourite of mine!! First, here is the sketch.
See doesn't it make you wanna start tearing and crumpling paper??!!
Here is what I made.
The cardbase is Petal Pink 5.5 x 8.5", scored at 4.25"
The white layer is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8" and stamped with snowflakes
Then I used the darker side of the Petal Pink two-toned cardstock measured at 3 x 4"
I used the same width of 3" and tore to fit where I wanted flipping them to get the darker and lighter sides. The first darker layer I crumpled for some dimension, the last piece under the Pool Party Layer was embossed with snowflakes. I crumpled and stamped snowflakes on the Pool Party layer. But I didn't just stamp them, I used versa mark then Pool Party Ink and clear embossing powder to make them shiny. I tied a bow with the gorgeous silver and white 1/2" sheer ribbon. Then adhered to the front of the card and sprinkled with Rhinestones for a little more pizzaz!! I Love how it turned out and may make a few in various colours!! Angie picked out an Awesome sketch!! I Love my card!!
This is your reminder to stamp the inside of the card and your envelope!! Something you do not get from a card purchased in the store!!
