Hello, hello! Happy Saturday to you! It's the first Saturday of October, and that means it's World Card Making Day! We are celebrating all month long at Sketch N Scrap with a new card sketch every Saturday.
Here is the first card sketch of the month:
I love everything about this sketch and have already added it to my favorites to be used again. And again. And again!
Here is my card:
I found a few pieces and some scraps of this Garland collection from Scenic Route (oh, how I miss them!), and I knew it was time to use them! I have enough left over for a few more cards and maybe a layout or two, so you may see this paper popping up on my projects in the near future!
The background of the dotty paper is not quite white, but a very light cream, and that made it a little difficult to match. I got around that by brushing a little bit of Close To My Heart's Bamboo ink all over a piece of white cardstock, and it was the perfect color!
The sentiment stamp is one of my favorites from the Hero Arts Lower Case Greetings stamp set. The tree is from Close To My Heart's Oh, What Fun stamp set. I popped it up on foam tape for some dimension. I finished it off with a few gold gems to take up some of the empty space.
My first Christmas card for the upcoming season is done!
Be sure to stop by the Sketch N Scrap blog to see the sketch and more inspiration from the design team. I hope you find some time to play along with us. I would love to see your take on the sketch, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
I still have this line in my stash Lori!! This is a gorgeous card!! Thanks for the inspiration!
