Split Coast Sketch Challenge 151

First of all I'd like to wish you all a Wonderful Thanksgiving. Since I post later in the evening I figure many of you don't get to the blog until the next day. And being it's a holiday tomorrow and many of you will be busy preparing that fabulous meal for your families I will say "Happy Belated Thanksgiving" to you!!! I am cooking dinner but I seem to have that all under control (if you can believe that - I'm a bit shocked by it myself!!!).


I haven't even gotten to last weeks sketch. But I figure I can always catch up. It's a game I've been playing a lot lately. LOL I decided to just head right in to today's sketch. I had time to play this morning so I thought I'd do the sketch today and not let this one slip by. I just can't believe how fast the time is flying. Wasn't it just Halloween???? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and then Christmas will be here before I know it. How do you slow down time????

Ok, onto my card. I used the "Lovely as a Tree" set and the snowflake from "Holiday Tag Team." I used Versa Mark on glossy card stock and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I added the color in with a sponge. I started out with Bashful Blue and then came in with some Brilliant Blue. I stayed away from the center. There I came in with some Pretty in Pink. I came back in with a little Bashful Blue over the pink, just lightly I didn't want it to overtake the pink.

The next layer is just Bashful Blue card stock with the edges sponged in Bashful Blue. The final layer is another piece of glossy card stock and I embossed the snowflakes in clear embossing powder and again I sponged the blues on. I added the brads and then assembled the card. The photo was taken at an angle and it makes the card look like it's put together crooked.

This was a very fun sketch. I really look forward to the new sketch each Wednesday. I like having a variety of layouts for my cards. Some I just LOVE and use them over and over on a lot of my cards.


Thank you all SO much for stopping by,
Wanda

Wanda, beautiful card! I'm always afraid to try blending the colors on the glossy paper, but I'm going to have to give this a try. Such a beautiful winter scene. Thanks for sharing your card and the details of how you blended the color.
