i love sketches for card-making, i may have mentioned that before-- possibly even several million times before, lol. i especially love sketches drawn by my lovely friend and ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ cohort Stephanie Severin, so i'm pretty psyched that we have a brand new one this fortnight:
is that fabulous or what? totally flexible, but with enough specific shapes to make one start thinking of specific stash items. for example, when i first looked at this, i thought, "ribbon, doily, postcard, flower!" i got everything right except the ribbon, which i swapped out for a punched paper strip. oh and i rotated the sketch ninety degrees clockwise, when the vintage postcard i wanted to use turned out to be tall instead of wide:
 |
| scan of a vintage postcard from my collection, reduced slightly and printed on kodak premium glossy photo paper; german scrap flower and doily from my stash; patterned paper: pink paislee, dcwv; gold cardstock: the paper co; florals: prima; border punch: recollections; ink: colorbox; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine |
want to see another fabulous take, this time from the sketch mistress herself? head on over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ where you can also link up your card and see what others are making!
great take on the sketch, Your card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLoverly, think I'll have to break out my Christmas stash! Deb xo
ReplyDeleteI can see the sketch in your gorgeous card and I love how you made it your own! The angelic image looks so pretty and the doily adds to the femininity factor beautifully!
