Wednesday Sketch Challenge at SplitCoastStampers SC143

Here is my submission for the Sketch Challenge (SC) at SplitCoastStampers (SCS). I REALLY liked this layout. It has a lot of layering but it was fun. I didn't have to think real hard on filling in the empty spaces either. I saw the sketch and immediately knew what I wanted the card to look like. Well all except that little strip. I actually had to think about that. Did I want some tiny words there or just a strip? And then "ribbon" came to mind and it was a done deal. This card is in the running for our yearly Christmas card. It has no buttons, brads or bows to be considered "non-machinable!" That's a BIG plus!!!

The blue areas on each side of the snowman could use 3 white brads (on each side) but to keep it non-machinable I left them off. I suppose I could have added them for demo purpose but then I'd really like it like that and the card wouldn't be in the running for our yearly card. Who would have thought it would be this difficult? Well, it wasn't until this surcharge thing! GRRRR!!! LOL

The papers here are Bayou Blue, Watercolor paper and Glossy Card Stock. I think the Glossy card stock is going to be the most expensive part of the card.

The snowman (of course another snowman) came from "Jolliest Time of the Year" set and the snowflakes are embossed in clear Embossing Powder on the glossy card stock. The Bayou Blue is sponged over the entire piece of Glossy. Simple as that! I like simple!!!



I'm happy with it and it is surely in the running for the 2007 Christmas card!!!

Thank you for stopping by,
