Today is the day the CSAYL Divas post their Christmas cards for the week. We had an extra challenge added to the sketch again and this week it was to use eyelets. One of the things that I love about these challenges (besides having all these cards done in advance) is that I get to use up all these scraps! So far I have not cut into any new pieces of paper. I have a pizza box (new, not used, you can get them for 25 cents at Pizza Hut) filled with scraps. I also have a ziplock bag filled with stamped images from my friend Michelle or from image swaps I've been in. So I just pull out an image that works with the sketch challenge, find some paper and color the images to match the paper. I actually started with a different image this week, but it didn't work very well with this sketch, so I will be able to use it another week. Okay, onto the card...
I used various Basic Grey scraps, SU! metal and eyelets from LONG ago and a Whipper Snapper image that my friend Michelle sent me. The ribbon is some I got in a bargain bin for 25 cents. The glitter is Martha Stewart and it is VERY fine! I am now sparkling along with my card. The sentiment is computer generated and I used CK Huckleberry font.
Don't forget to stop by the other diva's blogs and see what they did with these challenges.
Great card! I love that idea of having an image exchange - a good way to get some cute images collected if you don't have the stamps themselves! Whomever thought of that idea is a genius!
