Yay! I finally got to participate in a sketch challenge again - I must say that it has been awhile! This card was made to follow SC198.
I decided to add some homemade flowers to add some extra dimension and colour. They are my version of a Christmas Poinsettia and work nicely with the Imaginese Designer Paper :)
I started out only adding pre-sticky half back pearls to the upper left hand corner of the card and then went a little pearl crazy! I'm kind of one of those "more is more" kind of gals :)
Every layer on this card has been sponged with a coordinating ink to brighten the colours and make it pop. I took the red layer of DP and ran it through my cuttlebug for texture and then took my sanding block to distress it so that the snowflakes stood out more. I thought the sentiment from my ODBD set fit perfectly in this sketch and makes for a beautiful Christmas card.
