So, now that you are up to speed, let me share the card I made for this week's CCEE sketch challenge provided by my dear friend Joanne. Each week, this month, she's provided a sketch, and each week there's a twist. This time we had to have a Christmas theme!! What fun!! I've just received some wonderful new JustRite images from Stamper's Dream, and have been itching to get them inky.
Here's the sketch we were to use:
Here's what I did with this week's sketch:
I thought these sweet little Christmas themed JustRite Circles and frames from the new set called Holiday Cheer, would fit beautifully as a center to one of the Spellbinders' Snowflakes. I covered the flakes with Glossy Accents (Inkssentials), and then coated them with some Mica Flakes by Melissa Frances. Don't ya just love the fun texture and sparkle? *sigh*
The little flakes are coated with some ultrafine transparent glitter, and I added a sweet swirly border with an EK Success punch. Finally, I added a bit of stitching to the strips and back panel, and a couple of score lines directly above the punched border.
That about sums it all up. Now, we'd love to have you join us in this week's challenge, so make a Christmas card with this sketch, and use Mr. Linky over on the CCEE Stamper's Blog.
Thank you so very much for stopping by. I hope you're all having a fantastic week!!
Happy Stamping!!
Tosh
