Join us! It is SKETCH week at The Paper Players. Joanne is challenging us to create a card that uses the sketch below. As many of you know, I struggle with sketch and color challenges. With sketches, I am not good about adding layers, I much prefer an one-layer card. So basically, this sketch calls for a three layer sentiment centered in the middle of the card. I picked some vibrant, watercolored DSP in my stash... I made six cards after cutting full-size scrapbook sheets. I used a STAX die to cut A2 panels and embellish the edges.
I decided to try something a bit fancy for the bottom sentiment layer. I diecut a lace border from black cardstock. When die cutting, I lined the back of the cardstock with a dryer sheet so all the bits and pieces would remain in place. I thoroughly glued the border and its bits and pieces to the DSP panel. On top of the border, I added a white embossed sentiment strip lined with silver mirracard.

Enjoy! I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

Elizabeth I love that bold background watercolour paper so much I'd have forgiven you any kind of layering/non-layering of sentiment - how fabulous!
Absolutely love that patterned paper, Elizabeth! Cheers, Jolanda
OOH, that patterned paper is super! You couldn't go wrong with letting it shine and adding a sentiment as you've done. Anything more would be a waste of that wonderful watercolour look. Have a great week. :-)
Elizabeth, this watercolor paper is so bold and beautiful. The die cut behind the sentiment is a lovely detail. I love how this paper is the star of the show on this fun card. Have a wonderful week!
The colors in the background as well as that bold black panel with your little doodads behind it all add up to one striking card! Beautiful!
