A sketch provided by Freshly Made Sketches:
Then a tic-tac-toe challenge presented by The Paper Players:
I have chosen the top row - Christmas, Sparkle/Bling and Ribbon. Even though I started making Christmas cards early this year, I think I am still short so I need to continue making them!
I'm sorry that the front of the card is rather heavy so it slides forward and the angle makes it look a little funny.
I'm entering this card for the challenge at That Craft Place Challenge blog that asked us to create our own background. I've used a background stamp set from Universal Background to stamp the Kraft paper to create a muted background, then used burlap ribbon to go across the card. With the Artiste cartridge a label shape was cut out to serve as a mat for the sentiment. Finally some red and silver sparkles were added to give it more bling!
This card looks different unique in a way that it is based on kraft cardstock with only a hint of Cranberry. This is quite a subtle Christmas color combination and I like it!
What a lovely card Joyce! I love that burlap! The sparkle/bling is a great addition! Great take on the sketch! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
