I love using sketches for a jumping off point for card designs. I have a whole Pintrest board of card sketches. This one is from Dawn Griffith It is really great that she puts the measurements on there for you, although my squares are a different size. I used scraps leftover from using 12x12 sheets for other cards.
My interpretation:
The papers are snippets from Snowflake Splendor paper from SU--pieces from 3 different designs The snowflake is die cut from a scrap of vellum. The sentiment is from SU's Itty Bitty Christmas, new this year. I used a Sizzix Falling Snow embossing folder for the background Pool Party cardstock.
For challenges

You are so good at using sketches. I love seeing how you interpret them. This card is perfect, and it was a great way to use up some snippets. Love the vellum snowflake.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you entered this one in the latest challenge at Let's Craft and Create!
DeleteWhat a lovely card Donna. My, I wish I had the funds to send everyone a set of those brushes. If you haven't entered twice already I've extended the Playground Challenge by a week (hurt my shoulder and not crafting for now) and you CAN enter twice! Go for it!

What a beautiful take on the sketch, Donna! I love the soft and dreamy look of your design! Thank you for your visit and fun comment! Happy Thanksgiving! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell (p.s. if you don't win the brushes, you can get great ones at Amazon for little $.)
