Global Design Project #GDP314 Sketch Challenge

 Hello and welcome,

I've entered my self in the latest Global Design Project #GDP314 and it's a sketch challenge. The team have come up with a great layout, so make sure you see their beautiful creations over at Global Design Project. 

For my project I wanted to create a Christmas card using Sparkle of the Season Stamp Set and Seasonal Swirls Dies they are on page 58 of the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue. I love the different swirl dies in the set and how you can create different seasons by using this bundle.

Starting with the Basic White panel I've stamped the snow flakes in Versamark Ink, adding Stampin' White Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then using the Blending Brush and Gorgeous Grape Ink I've created an Ombre look starting from the bottom of the cardstock and working my up.

The next Ombre layer using Basic White Cardstock, Blending Brush and Gorgeous Grape Ink, but this time leaving more white at the top.

I've created a three layer wreath using Vellum and Silver Foil Specialty Pack in the two lighter colours of silver. I also added lots of Clear Wink of Stella to the foil and Vellum for lots of sparkle. I also used Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum for the decorative dots.

The other elements to the card are the trees from the Christmas Trees Dies, Fresh Freesia Vellum Snowflake which is from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and the larger iridescent foil snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes. The greeting is stamped in Gorgeous Grape Ink onto Basic White Cardstock.
