WMS Fanatics - thank you ....

... Hello again, it's time for our new challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics.  I really enjoyed seeing your wonderful Christmas cards with non-Christmas images.  Our challenge this time is a sketch and here's my take:

Thank You - Photo by Deborah Frings - Deborah's Gems

Stamps: WMS - Large Doily, Join Us
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Gumball Green, Sahara Sand; Versamark
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU DP - Sahara Sand; Silver Tinsel Embossing Powder; Vellum; Gems


One of the things that you always need after Christmas is a supply of thank you cards and, as I've finsihed my Christmas cards for this year, I decided to start on some thank yous!  This card came together really quickly - as soon as I saw this sketch I knew what stamps I wanted to use.  I made the backing layer from some design paper cut to size and rounded the corners with a punch.  I stamped the doily with Versamark onto white card, heat embossed with silver tinsel powder and then cut it out.  I ran the doily through my xyron to make it self adhesive and attached it to the card.  I know that the sentiment is very subtle; inks tend to dry lighter on vellum!!  I should have embossed it.  I attached the vellum strip with a couple of glue dots and to cover the dots I added gems.  I finished the inside with a mat in green and stamped the doily again.  I left it blank so that I can write a message.

I used the colours from this week's Colour Throwdown - CTD270 - I really like them.  You've got plenty of time to play along with the sketch - deadline is Thursday 12th December 5pm GMT (that's noon EST).  Really looking forward to seeing what you make with this sketch.  See you soon.
