I think I am hooked in trying out the weekly sketches from this website Freshly Made Sketches. This week, I decided to make a Christmas card with the sketch and if I liked I would make it one of the featured cards for my clubs this month.
I really liked this card but it did not have the WOW factor I was looking for. You see I am trying to get my card selected for the week.
I looked at the card stock that was leftover after I made two snowflakes with the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching framelit for the above card. I thought to myself, "That looks like it could be a stencil." So, I used two colors that were in the Winter Frost designer paper and sponged the snowflake background. Next, I used the Festive Flurry framelit to make an accent snowflake. I finished it off using a Vintage Faceted designer button with a baker's twine bow. The final touch was the saying from the set More Merry Messages. I loved the end result. Which card is your favorite?
Very cool idea! I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like them both! Great idea to use the snowflake negative as a template for sponging! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous and I love how you've used the negative of the snowflake to create your sponged snowflake - very resourceful! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
