Be sure to leave your linky if you tried out this weeks sketch!
Here is what I came up with
I had fun embossing the bacground and then the main image too. I used the VersaMark Dazzle Champage ink pad for both applications so there is flecks of gold in both. It looks very vintage! My color combo is a recent discovery as I had oodles of this light Bazzill green left over from the Mono packs. I always reach for Scarlet Cardstock when I have Christmas on the brain - and voila! This time I added some brown too. I really like this sketch and am sure I will be using it again and again.

I have actually been trying to get this posted for a bit - internet issues really can slow down progress! I also want to share both of the projects we did last night - they were super FUN! SO be watching next week for that!
I am off this weekend for my final craft show of the season. I am sad for it to be over - but also am looking forward to focusing on family and the season for a few weeks! I added a bunch of button jewelry pieces to my etsy shop - check it out!
Brilliant card! I've been using Victorian Elements this winter too...it's wonderful. I love the effects of that dazzle on the red...it looks embossed and so rich...
