I try and participate in sketch challenges quite often as I feel it increases my skills. The Card Sketch A Day blog puts up a sketch each day and everyone is welcome to give them a try. I volunteered to create a card for one of her sketches. I liked the sketch so much that I created 2 cards. Here is the sketch and my creations.
I decorated the inside also and here is a picture.
Stamps: Snowflakes saying (Make and Impression), The Snowflake Spot, Flaky Friends (both retired) Paper: Baja Breeze, white, Frosted white, Ski Slope DS Ink: Baja Breeze Accessories: Sizzix dies, sponge dauber, dimensionals
Here is the second card.
Stamps: Merry & Bright, Let It Snow (My Sentiments Exactly!), Polar Bears (retired) Paper: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, white Ink: Bashful Blue, Palette Noir Black Accessories: Snowflake Edge Punch (Martha Stewart), Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), Bashful Blue – Close to Cocoa – Going Gray – Real Red markers, Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pen, dimensionals
If you are ever at a loss for how to create your card, make sure you visit Susan’s blog. You can always find a sketch to help you in your card making. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
Loved both the cards. Very pretty colors and design. Sandy
Great cards. I love the bear one! I’ll have to look for that MS stamp. It’s just darling.
Hi Robbie – just discovered your blog today. Love your cards.
I love the polar bear one here – he’s so cute. We don’t have snowy Christmases here in Australia but I still like to make cards with snowy images – I think there’s something special about snowflakes, they’re so pretty !
Thanks for sharing your cards.
