Come join our sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! The very sweet and talented Amy is our hostess today! Be sure to check out her fabulous card!
Today was a "Use Your Stash" creation -- For this week's card I pulled elements out of a box where I throw everything that I cut or make and then don't use for one reason or another. The card base with the diagonals came from a Distress Background class I took from a friend several months ago. Using masking, we created beautiful diagonal backgrounds with different shades of DOX. It was a perfect "flipped sketch" background, and actually makes my shimmery deer happy. :-)
The snowflake die is from Picket Fence Studios (Snowflake Lydia), the deer, cut from gold shimmery cardstock (CCS) is Papertrey Ink, and the sentiment (cut from glitter paper) is from Stampin' Up. The only things NOT pulled from my unfinished projects box was the card base (MFT) and the three little gems (PFS).
I think it turned out pretty great! What do you think?
I hope you will join our sketch challenge this week, and add your
creations to our gallery! This challenge will end at 3:00 EDT time on
Monday, October 11th. Be sure to take a peek at the gorgeous cards my teammates have made on the FMS blog!
