Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring a card sketch. We hope you like how we have each put our own spin on the sketch and that it inspires you to get creative and make some fabulous cards. If you are inspired by the sketch, please share with us!
This is the card sketch we are all using.You may have come to my blog from Sue Madex. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and at the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post.
Today I have a card using the sketch as featured above. I did "stretch" the sketch somewhat and changed the orientation of my card. The is my favourite thing about sketches, they are a fabulous starting point for you but a tweak here or there and you can change the look completely with a few minor changes.
I have used the amazing Joyous Noel speciality designer series paper and glimmer paper on my card today along with the Christmas Pines stamp set. I love the subtle copper in the designer series paper and how elegant it makes cards look. A few copper accents is all my card needed to be "complete" after the basic design of the card.
As I made a custom sized card (it measures 11.4cm x 16.5cm [4 1/2" x 6 1/2"]) I've whipped up an envelope on the envelope punch board. I added a piece of designer series paper on the back of the envelope to tie it into the card. This is also a great way to use up some of your designer series paper stash if you need help!

Your card is fabulous, Ros! I love the front, but I really love how you haven't stamped the inside sentiment in the centre.

That's stunning Ros, great use of DSP and I may just have to case it for myself, if that's okay?
