I wasn’t sure if I would do another Paper Craft Crew challenge before the end of this year. But when I saw this vertical sketch challenge (PCC450) it sparked some inkspiration. I’m in the middle of crafting my holiday cards for friends, family and my customers. I was thinking of doing something simple with some Designer Series Paper and this sketch is perfect for my customer holiday cards. Here’s the sketch…
For my design I immediately thought of the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper. (I’m a little sad that this suite is retiring soon) From there I decided to create a monochromatic card. So I used Smoky Slate for my card base and ink. The phrase and image comes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in the Annual catalogue. Then to emphasize the silver in the DSP I heat embossed the phrase in silver. And to add a little bit more sparkle I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel and used the Frayed ribbon from the upcoming new January-June Mini catalogue. It’s so soft and there’s a little bit of shimmer to it.
Check out the other designs for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge here.
I also wanted to share a couple more projects featuring the Peaceful Place suite. These are two cards that I got in a team card swap. They both feature the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. The Just Jade and cork card was created by Tracey Holz. And the Basic Gray and pink card was created by Laura Seki. Laura also used the Whimsy & Wonder DSP in her design. These are two of my favourite cards from this card swap!
Keep looking for more projects featuring retiring products. Next week I’ll be sharing some projects using the Sweet Treats bundle. In the meantime you can check out some projects using Frosted Gingerbread bundle here.
