Welcome to my blog. Today's card is my contribution to the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #654. This is a semi-monthly challenge that runs from Tuesday, September 3, 2024, through Sunday, September 15, 2024. Following is the new sketch for this challenge:
The stitched rectangular layers and the aperture were die-cut. The tree was fussy cut from patterned paper and placed into the aperture. I planned to use several leaves but because of the size of the dies, I elected to use only the Sugar Maple leaf. This leaf was stacked to give it height as well as a shadow. The sentiment was stamped and added to the card along with the clear gem stickers.
The inside of the card was decorated with a fussy-cut tree image from patterned paper. A stamped sentiment was added saying, "In all things, Give Thanks".

ReplyDeleteUsing the oval aperture always add a little more interest in the card... love the focal point and your large leaf, and that extra pop of turquoise color. Beautiful card.
