A Merry Sketch

This week at The Paper Players Sandy has a great sketch for everyone. I hemmed and hawed about what I wanted to do with it and finally settle on a Christmas card that used the squares to highlight DSP. I did move the sentiment across the panels instead of below, so hopefully that's ok! I just really wanted to use that "merry" sentiment and it didn't look right going across the bottom :) The "merry" was cut out 3 times with the Big Shot and adhered to each other for more dimension, and then I sponged it  with Metallic Silver ink for more pop. I then channeled a bit of my daughter, who loves all things sparkly, and added some rhinestones to finish the card off, along with some paper piercing. 




Stamps: none
Paper: Smoky Slate Lost Lagoon, All is Calm DSP
Ink: Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Encore Silver Metallic
Accessories: Big Shot, Expressions Thinlet Dies(retired), Basic Rhinestones, Paper Piercing Mat, Paper Piercing Pack-Essentials
