Sketch Challenge Example and a Sneak Peek

cs_admin · cs_admin's Wish List

Are you ready for the new 2010 Holiday Mini Catalog?  It will be live in less than two weeks so I think it’s time to show you some of the wonderful items coming in the new catalog.  First and foremost – I have to say that I am in love with the new Autumn Spice specialty designer series paper that I used in my cards today.  This paper is just divine!  I do believe that this will be one that I will have to order another pack or two just to have on hand for future projects – it’s that beautiful!  I’m already sad that it’s in the Holiday Mini and not the big catalog because it’s going to retire sooner!  It’s not even available to the public yet and I’m already fretting over when it retires!  Sheesh!  Did I mention that I love, Love, LOVE this paper?

Before I forget, I created this card using the sketch from the August 2010 Sketch Challenge which is going on now.  One random participant will win the Funky Four stamp set.  Click here for more details.

Do you see that spectacular medallion behind my sentiment?  Well that and the sentiment is from the new Day of Gratitude stamp set that coordinates with the Autumn Spice designer paper – and it’s part of Shelli’s Signature Collection – so you know the whole set is breathtaking!  I used the Stampin’ Write Markers directly on the stamps to make each of the elements really pop!

You can click on the images to view them larger if you’d like.

And last but not least, here is a view of the inside of the card.  You can see that the bottom of the interior actually shows when the card is closed as well.  The main interior is just white though – ready for a handwritten or stamped sentiment.

 

Happy Stamping
