This card uses the OWH Sketch #144 and this week's Ways to Use It Challenge, which challenges us to make a card using anything except Autumn colors (no red, orange or yellow).
This card's colors are off-white, brown and blue to match the colors in the patterned paper (I could not get the colors to photograph well today without the picture becoming too dark).
I started by embossing the front of an Ultrasmooth Vanilla card base with a snowburst embossing folder. (Ultrasmooth Vanilla is no longer available, but it's comparable to Very Vanilla.) I cut a strip of the patterned paper and mounted it on brown card stock. I cut a panel of Ultrasmooth Vanilla, stamped it with my sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa and mounted it on brown card stock. I die cut a snowflake in Ultrasmooth Vanilla and sponged it with Bordering Blue to match the blue in the patterned paper. I added some pearls to the snowflake and attached it to the sentiment panel, then adhered the panels to the card base. Because I'd weakened the card front with my embossing, I added a liner on the upper portion of the inside to balance the weight of the layers.
