Ah, Winter! Ok, I’m really not ready for Winter yet but I love this designer paper and it was perfect for today’s card sketch. Unfortunately, my photograph doesn’t do the card justice. Not only is there white snow on the trees, there is also silver snow on the trees to complete the gorgeous scene. I embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder to coordinate with the silver on the trees.
The background is a piece of the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper. (#156394 $15). This paper is gorgeous! Grays, black, white and silver. The sheet of paper that this scene came from had four different 6” x 6” sections with the same scene. Perfect for those easy cards! The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set (#156541 $21) in Stampin’ Up!’s July – December Mini Catalog. I love the font!
I wanted to use black ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock, but the background of the trees has a little too much gray in it and the white just didn’t look right. My next choice was black, and it worked perfectly!
It is Card Sketch Day, so I should probably share with you the sketch I was trying to copy. Did you notice that I used the exact number of layers on my card as the sketch shows? Unbelievable! Ha! The only thing I changed was the orientation of the card. I made my card in a landscape orientation so I could use the gorgeous Peaceful Place paper.
What supplies are you going to use to try your hand with this card sketch? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
