Freshly Made Sketches is celebrating their 500th sketch!
I started by spraying Dina Wakely glossy acrylic sprays in Turquoise, Ocean, Fuchsia, and Night on 9x12 bristol and, once it was dry, cut out the focal panel. I am sure y'all will see some of the rest in other cards... Because the sprays are acrylic, regular dye and pigments inks will not adhere to the surface, so I rubbed some Archival ink in Majestic Violet along the edges of the panel to ground it. For the backing panel I embossed a piece of Close to My Heart paper (I think it was Pansy) using the 3D Subtle embossing folder from Stampin' Up and sponged on a little Milled Lavender Distress Ink to make the texture a little less, well, subtle. The snowflakes were cut with the Snowflake Edger die from Gina K Designs. I cut the sentiment twice from white and once from Silver Foil cardstocks using a die from Spellbinders and stacked them. I attached a thin piece of the Silver foil on the snowflake border to tie it in. Lastly I finished it off with some sparkles.
I am also entering this card in the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge to use non-traditional colors and the Holly and Ivy anything Christmas goes challenge.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
