March Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to our first challenge of the month, a new sketch. My name is ELFi and I'm delighted to be your host for March. A sketch offers you fantastic possibilities when designing your card. You can stick to the given layout or modify it slightly, mirror the sketch, adjust the size or exchange the shapes, but the basic design of the sketch must be recognizable on your card.

 

 

Here are some inspirations from the Design Team. Please go to their blogs for more information and to show your appreciation:

Hi, I’m AndrejaM, and I’m delighted to be hosting the fourth challenge of this month at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

This time, it’s a technique challenge featuring heat emboss resist. 

Start by heat embossing your stamped image, then apply ink or colour over the embossed areas to create a beautiful resist effect and added visual interest.
