Sketch-tastic!

There were so many ♥FAB♥U♥LOUS♥ sketch cards this time, we hardly knew where to look first; thank you for giving us such an awesome "problem" lol! Here are a few sketch cards that made us especially happy:

Lisa J. of Snowy Moose Creations

...combined patterns of different scales to really emphasize the clean lines of the sketch, plus check out those uber-sweet birds!

Linda S. of Snail's Space

...rocked our world with her amazingly clever ONE LAYER embossed panel that delineates the sections of the sketch with ♥COLOR♥!

LeAnne of Wee Inklings

...added texture and interest to each of the sketch's sections with embossing, stamps and glittery trim!

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we ♥LOVE♥ to see what you will do! We'll be back at midnight with a brand new prompt and a lovely new sponsor-- so YES, there's an excellent chance of prize-- come on back and hear all the delightfully digital details! :)

SKETCH-ing Around the Christmas Tree

We're still sketch-ing this week at Jingle Belles ... remember, the circle element in the design can be any shape.

Here's what we created:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I started out with a completely different-- much more colorful-- idea; but then I found the awesome glittery Papaya Art sentiment sticker and a scrap of belovedly hoarded kraft+silver Hambly snowflake paper and the whole neutral-but-glitzy idea was born. I filled in with florals, a premade vintage-look snowflake diecut and a few rhinestone flourishes that i snipped apart and put back together in a shape that worked better for my design; then called it a day.

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I created a monochromatic design using three different teal green designer papers from Lawn Fawn's Snow Day Collection.  I used strips of red paper from the same Collection to break-up the panels and finished with a piece of flair (because who doesn't love receiving a little flair for Christmas).  Click-on over to my blog if you'd like to see two more cards I made with the same papers."

Can't wait to see what you create with my sketch.  Remember, the link-up ends at 6pm (EST) on Wednesday, May 6th. Keyword for galleries and Flickr is JB:15:09. ♥ 

We Wish You a Merry SKETCH-mas

This week we've got a Sketch to inspire you (someday I'll learn how to make fancy digital sketches ... but for now, a ruler & black sharpie are my tools).  The circle can be any shape ... have fun with it.

Here's what we created:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I knew I wanted one of my dimensional, glittery gift tags to be my focal image, so I build my panels around it ... I used solid blue, *Merry Christmas* embossed red and glittery white to frame my Christmas Owl.  I finished with an SRM Sticker sentiment."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "At the moment I'm pretty addicted to watercolor paints and hand lettering, so I thought I'd try to incorporate that into my card. Thanks to the awesomely segmented design, I was able to work the sentiment on a separate piece of watercolor paper... just in case it didn't come out well on the first try. :) I also had fun painting a bunch of multi-colored holly leaves; and slightly less fun cutting all of them out, lol, but I *love* the dimension they give to the finished card!"

Can't wait to see what you create with my sketch.  The link-up ends at 6pm (EST) on May 6th. Keyword for galleries and Flickr is JB:15:09. ♥
