It's Merry Monday

An Ink Master team member ("Ink Masters" is the name of my team of Stampin' UP! demonstrators) submitted this sketch for us to use as a card template this week.


I love having a sketch with which to start my creative process, and this one was easy for me to use.

Here's my version:


I had the new Wrapped in Christmas stamp set, and I knew it would be perfect for my center point.  Since I was going to use the Feels Like Frost patterned paper, I inked the image with Versamark and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.


The card base is Misty Moonlight, and I added (cheated on the sketch) one more layer of embossed Misty Moonlight behind the patterned paper.  Then I took a 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" piece of the silvery paper and a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of the paper with the tree on it, and created the card.  Just needed a way to add the greeting.


And here is the "my bad" part:  I totally believed that this wreath die (All Around Wreath) was still current.  But when I took a closer look, I realized I had mistaken it for the Wreath Builder dies, which I never ordered.  But if you were going to recreate this card, it would be very easy to substitute the new Wreath Builder dies for my wreath.

I finished the card with a few Adhesive Backed Snowflakes, the pretty iridescent little snowflake bling, along with a bow of Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon.

It's a cool look for the holidays!
