It's Wednesday and that means a new sketch at FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES. Lesley has made this wonderful sketch to work with:
As you might have noticed, lately I am stuck in a neutral phase and still loving it!!!
So as soon as I saw this sketch I thought neutrals and gold glitter paper! I was not sure on the stamp set, but with gold and glitter I kinda of thought Christmas would be a perfect theme!
Last week at Dynamic Duos Challenge there was an early espresso and crumbcake theme. i just carried that to this sketch to keep in line with my obsession at the moment :-)
So here is my CARD!
Side view of the lovely bow with the Antique Brad:
Hope you can see the 3D of the sentiment and the star in this pic:
I have seen a beautiful card on a newly discovered blog: Stamp With Paula. She had a lovely card for the Dynamic Duos challenge and I just loved what she did with the bow. So this is my inspiration for this bow, but I thought the glitter paper needs royal treatment so obviously I went to the Antique Brad!
Really hope you like this card, I am SUPER happy with how it turned out, it is much better than what I imagined, which is always awesome :-).
Supplies used (all SU unless noted):
Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake Card Stock
Gold Glitter Paper (from stash)

I really do love this one - very detailed. The chocolate colour schemes + champagne shimmer is a winner (IMO)!!
