Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and it's time for another one of Mercy's FABULOUS sketches!! If you love long cards you will LOVE this week's sketch!
Here are a few details: I used the new Verve set, Blessed Christmas. The color combo is Blush Red Dark (Prism), Always Artichoke, Vintage Cream and the DP is Basic Grey Wassail. The poinsettia was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black three times, colored with Copic Markers and cut out with square Nestabilities. I popped up different portions of the flower for some dimension. The pink pearls are Hero Arts. The sentiment was cut out with circle Nestabilities and the scallops on the strip across was done with a Scallop Edge Punch. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I added some Clear Copic Spica pen to the flower. It is really sparkly IRL! A little stitching and the card was complete!
Don't forget to check out more inspiration from the other Muse's! Crystal wasn't able to join us this week as she's feeling a little under the weather! Feel better, Crystal!
I hope you have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!
what a stunning beauty! love the color combo, the dp, and your gorgeous poinsettia! great stitching and pearl accents, too!
thanks for another wonderful sample this week, jackie...YOU ROCK!
