Hi I'm back with this week's sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #762:
I've used this week's sketch to create a monochromatic Christmas card using old and new paper crafting materials. I had recently purchased Stampin' Ups@ Tile Garden Dies and I took this opportunity to cut out my DSP with the 1 1/2" dies. I love how these little squares turned out, and they were the perfect size to mount on the Basic White matte.
This card came together quickly after I chose the designer paper and coloured cardstock. Since the squares were die-cut, they were all the same size, so I only needed to decide which patterns to use. The little village stamp and die from the Welcome Noel bundle made an ideal focal point. The "Joy" sentiment circle was leftover from an old Paper Pumpkin kit. To finish the card front I added three foam stars to the square in the top corner to balance the card.
For the card’s interior, I attached a plain white matte and added one of the hot-foiled Christmas sentiments from the Magical Christmas dies. I also fixed a second strip of houses along the bottom, leaving plenty of space for a message and signature.
