Freshly Made Sketches #421




I admit I struggled a bit with Jen's sketch this week and resorted to cleaning off my desk while design ideas popped in and out of my head. It was when I came across a 6x6 paper pad that I'd picked up to use for masculine cards that I had a lightbulb moment. For few years I've loved using tartan wrapping papers for the men in my life and suddenly I knew the rounded square panel would become a tartan wrapped gift box.




A square die created the gift box from the designer paper while the lid and the tag were cut from dark gray cardstock scraps. The PTI Hashtag Everything sentiment is heat embossed on the tag before it is  tied to the gift with green twine.




A warm gray Copic marker is swiped over the white embossing to mute the brightness and the gift adhered to an embossed light gray panel.

The Clean Team has terrific cards to inspire you this week - we hope you join us and play along!

I'm also linking this card to Seize the Birthday in the Anything Goes category.


Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
