Try A Sketch on Tuesday ~ Challenge #660

Can't believe that we're already in December! Honestly, where does the time go? One minute, I'm complaining because it's so hot in July and then "poof", it's December. 

Well, we have a new challenge starting at Try A Sketch On Tuesday

Here's my take on this sketch

For my card, I thought I'd go with a snowflake theme. I started by embossing a white A2 card panel with Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Snowflakes. I sprited the card panel lightly with water. This helps prevent "cracking" of the cardstock through the embossing process. I then cut the A2 panel, removing a sliver of paper on each diagonal cut. I die cut the center snowflake using Simon Says STAMP's Alexis snowflake die and silver shimmer cardstock. I also cut two thin strips of the same silver shimmer cardstock. I adhered the embossed triangle pieces and the silver strips to a white A2 card base. I glued the snowflake in place. For the sentiment, I used Hero Arts' Winter Silhouettes stamp set with Hero Arts Cornflower ink on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment strip down and ink blended some tumbled glass distress ink along the edges. I glued the sentiment strip in place to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch in our gallery.
