This week I get to be your hostess! Hooray! So I decided to go with a sketch... well, actually TWO sketches. Your challenge this week is to pick a sketch and create a card or project using the design...
So here is the card I created using the sketch on the right side...
Partridge in a Tree
I began my card today by cutting out the large topiary tree shape using the Holiday Topiary Silhouette Cut File from Classic White Cardstock. Then I stamped my tree image from the "Holiday Topiaries" stamp set using Memento's "Black Tuxedo" ink and coloured it using the following Copic Collections:
Next I cut out the Labels Twenty-Eight shape from Spellbinders, leaving my white cardstock in the die and stamped my background using the "Love & Joy" sentiment from the same "Holiday Topiaries" stamp set using Memento's "Espresso Truffle" ink. Then I airbrushed it with a variety of Copic's from the image.
I created my card base and matted all of my patterned papers and added a little soft yellow button and twine.
