Today we are featuring my favorite challenge at Pals Paper Arts: A Sketch Challenge! Sketches provide such a great jumping-off point for me.This particular sketch
provided me with an opportunity to use the new Merry Details Sizzlit from the Holiday Mini. This sizzlit coordinates beautifully with the Berry Christmas stamp set (also used on this card).Some tips:
- For the scallop squares, I used the "Sweet Little Baby" image from Cute & Cuddly. I simply used an Old Olive SU marker on just the outer scallop, stamped it and snipped it out.
- Both the Very Vanilla squares and bird were popped up using dimensionals.
- Squares of Chocolate Chip give a very narrow mat to the vanilla for some added interest.
Please be sure to head over to Pals Paper Arts to upload your creation! You could be one of our next Pals Paper Arts Artist Picks!
