Hello and welcome.
It’s the first Saturday of a new month, and that means its time for a sketch challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
I had so much fun with the previous mixed media challenge that I decided to create a background for my card using my gelli plate with oxide inks and a snowflake mask – I love the water colour effect it produced….
I added scraps of white textured card for the vertical ribbon to follow the sketch, and topped with a decal edge oval die cut by Spellbinders in pool party card by Stampin Up.
I added a 3D snowflake by Tim Holtz, cut from a piece of card that I’d coloured with a mixture of the oxide inks, and topped with a polar bear from the Folk Christmas stamp and die set by Sizzix on whisper white card, coloured with various stampin’ write ink pens.
I stamped a couple of holly leaves from the Christmas Season stamp set by Stampin Up in old olive ink and used the matching framelits to cut them out. I added a sprig of foliage in white.
I hope you’ve been inspired to join our challenge this week – we’d love to see what you create using this sketch.
Enjoy your weekend
