Feels Like Frost Thinking of You Card

 Hi Everyone,

Those of you who follow me will know that I regularly show you projects that are challenges.  Sometimes it's colours, sometimes a particular product and sometimes it's a sketch.  I do lots of challenges with two of my crafty friends - Taffycrafting (Donna Lester) and Vickieloudesigns (Victoria Littlewood) and we have a regular weekly one called Share it on a Sunday. Well, now Donna has challenged us to do some sketch challenges over the next few weeks to keep our creative mojo going and I'm going to use them as a chance to show you new products as well as some old favourites that I haven't used for a while.  So, here goes with my Challenge 21 of #33, I hope that you like it.

Materials

1 piece of seaside spray card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" , 2 pieces 2 1/4" square and  1 piece 2" x 5 3/4"
1 piece of whisper white card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
1 piece of dsp (Feels Like Frost) 4"x 5 3/4" and 2 pieces 2" square
Seaside spray ink
2019-2021 in colour dots
Life is Beautiful stamp set
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Stamp and Seal

Instructions

Score the seaside spray card stock on the long side at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layer to the card front using Stamp and Seal, I wouldn't recommend wet glue on this dsp as it sometimes shows through on the foil side and spoils the look of the card.

Stamp the sentiment at the bottom of the 2" strip of seaside spray card and then adhere to the left hand side of the card front as shown in the picture.

Adhere the 2" squares of dsp to the 2 1/4" squares of card stock and arrange on the card front as shown. The top one I have glued down and the second one is on dimensionals.  

Add some enamel dots to the top right (the sketch shows 3 but I only had 2 left).

Decorate the whisper white layer if required and adhere to the inside of the card.

Why don't you give the sketch a try, you can use whatever you want and it will be a unique card.
