New Sketch at STAMPlorations!



Hi guys,
it's time for another sketch challenge at STAMPlorations! I'm always amazed by the talent of the design team so make sure to check out all the gorgeous projects. We are glad to have Carol continuing as our guest designer: she made the most clever card using the Bloom Sketches set.  You do now want to miss it!

This simple sketch has many possibilities and in my DT card I embellished it a bit by adding a silver colored doily behind the focal panel. I used a set called Holiday Sketches: Christmas Bells. It's one of the new STAMPlorarions Christmas stamps which are on a bundle sale right now: buy all 5 sets for 25 dollars! Read all about it here. I also used Holiday Artsy, a very popular  STAMPlorations set, for framing the bells image. I've colored the bells with Copics and used some Stickles for shine... All the paper edges are inked with DT Pumice Stone for vintage feel and I went a bit crazy adding A LOT of pearls too. I must give this to someone who is not into CAS! :)
