Whew, we all made it to Friday. Anyone have exciting weekend plans? I’ll be hosting a virtual Kit Together this evening where I will be assembling the Hello Hollyhocks kit. If you’re free, I would love for you to join me! Simply click this link to register and join in on the fun.
But for now, it’s time for the second installment of Sketchy Fridays, where each week we’ll be using a card sketch to design our featured card. Right now, we’re working through a full series of designs using the card sketches found on page 22 of the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
This week, we’re using Sketch #2 and pairing it up with the gorgeous Seasons of Green & Gold patterned paper pack and coordinating Graceful Greenery vellum pack. Let’s see how it all comes together.
We get started with a base of Garden Green cardstock. Our background panel is a sheet of mistletoe paper from the Seasons of Green & Gold patterned paper pack. The focal panel consists of a mat of gold foil specialty paper and a sheet of greenery patterned paper, which is also from the Seasons of Green & Gold designer series paper pack. Our sentiment panel is matted with a lovely gold banner which is diecut from gold foil using the Greetings of the Season die. The sentiment from the coordinating stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce on white cardstock and then diecut with the oval die from Greetings of the Season. The tag holes in each of the sentiment panel pieces are covered with small bunches of mistletoe berries and sprigs of greenery that have been cut with paper snips from a sheet of Seasons of Green & Gold designer paper. Additional sprigs of greenery are cut from the edge of the same sheet of patterned paper, as well as a sheet of vellum from the Graceful Greenery pack. In conjunction with a twist of gold trim, the greenery serves as an eye-catcher for the sentiment panel. A sprinkling of rhinestone jewels across the card front draw the eye across the design.
Tomorrow we’ll be closing out our wintery designs in the snowdrifts. I hope you’ll stop by and check it out.
