Sketch - Christmas in July - Day 2

Today is the second day of the fun Christmas in July event over at Catch the Bug. One week, 7 challenges, different prizes are up for grab for those who enter one or all the challenges - you can read more about it here.

Today's challenge is a sketch. I kept my card flat and postage friendly, masking the image (colored with Promarkers, gold gel pen, stickles glitter glue and WOS) and heat embossing a Christmas sentiment before I started sponging the background with blue DI. I used scalloped border dies from Dienamics to cut the top and bottom before gluing them back in place. A few sequins and that's about it.

This card is also for:
ABC Christmas Challenge - 'N' is for No Rules
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes
Winter Wonderland - Let's See a Christmas Tree and/or Make it Cute (I chose cute)

Lovely blue background for this cute angel-bear, and love the detail of scalloped borders, they remember the clouds and add some interest! Perfect little sparkling addons, as always your card has an elegant touch !!!

Super cute!!! Th blue background really makes the little bear stand out. The inlaid die cut border is a stroke of genius, Pia. I'll be CASEing on that, for sure.

I like your interpretation of the sketch - the placement is all there but you've avoided obvious circles etc. Your background is the perfect setting for this angelic bear.

Mimi said...

2 things: I love that this is postage-friendly, and I love the way you have added dimension with the scalloped piece, yet kept the color consistent!
