Freshly Made Sketches #611

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #611!



This fabulous layered sketch from Clean Team designer Jen Mitchell had me pulling out the Memory Box Star of Wonder die while I let a few ideas roll around in my head. My plan to use metallic gold paper disappeared when I started playing with a holographic silver star washi. 




The washi is adhered to white cardstock scraps before the star and fishtail flag are die cut.  A very deep blue Indigo cardstock is used for the card base and the rounded edge panel. This smaller panel is embossed with stars.

An Ali Edwards December Daily 2019 Christmas Phrases sentiment is silver embossed on a white panel before the edges are inked.

There is an extra special challenge to getting a good photo that balances the dark texture on the deep blue panel with bright shine of the washi.



I hope you check out the amazing Clean Team cards, along with another Challenge #600 winner and guest design this week, Laurie Unger, and play along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
