This is my second card for the sketch challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. I inked four white squares with blue ink, creating a sky then added stamped trees. I mounted each square on black cardstock and adhered them to a cardbase. For the center piece, I decided to keep the "tree" theme going and created a wreath with punched boughs. I layered the wreath onto a white circle and mounted the white circle and wreath onto a blue circle, then a larger black circle. On the inside edge of the blue circle, I punched small squares and then threaded a piece of embroidery thread though the squares. I added gems and a bow to the wreath and printed the sentiment onto an inked banner.
Supplies: Cardbase: Recollections, Stamp: Inkadinkado, Gems: Queen & Co., DMC Embroidery Thread, Studio G Ink, Recollections Cardstock, Memento Ink, Scotch ATG, EK Success Punch

ReplyDeleteOooops, sorry Brenda - I just realised it's another Brenda B so it's not your 3rd card for 52 {C}CT at all! Thanks so much for showing off the diversity of the sketch with your two wonderful cards! Ruth x
