Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge and today's Mark's Finest Papers Release.
I wanted to use my "stand-by" favorite set today, as I wanted to create a FAST, card. With this sketch, it's really quite easy to get a nice focal image space as well as room to add in embellishments!
I stamped the image in Nic Bantock's Lamp Black. I off-stamped 5 times to create a forest with depth. Next, I wanted to use ribbon, but fought the urge to tie the ribbon vertically around the small panel. (I wanted the image to pick up some of the color from the dp!)
I finished off with a charm.
Finished size: 5 1/2"x 4 1/4"
Total time to complete: 9 minutes
