I thought I could use the current ODBD sketch challenge to make one more card for this week's TLC and get another Christmas card under my belt.
The tutorial for the pull-up card can be found in the first post of the challenge thread HERE, and the inside of my card is in post #22.
My papers are BoBunny, both part of the same sheet. I embossed them with a snowflake ef and sponged the edges with aqua.
The chickadee ornament was stamped on watercolour paper and embossed with clear EP. The birds and foliage are coloured with Inktense pencils. I used gold Twinkling H2Os for the ribbon and edging, then used wet wash to add colour to the rest of the panel.
It's layered on a piece of snowy tissue cut with the doily die. That's popped up on foam on a piece of heavy acetate stamped with the snowflake backgrounder using Brilliance Platinum (allow lots of drying time!) and edged with a gold pen. This is popped up on foam on the top flap of the card.
Along the bottom flap I added a die-cut gold border and bow. Sorry - I had to leave the three little elements off the bottom left corner, due to the depth of my gold edging, but I did my best to follow the sketch as much as possible, and had fun with it.

Sabrina, this is gorgeous! Delicate yet substantial! Great use of the acetate and the follow through of the gold is such a lovely addition without making this visually heavy. Love it!

Just beautiful, Sabrina! Thanks for all the details - I'm amazed you got the Brilliance ink to dry on the acrylic. The layers on this are so interesting; I love the doily! Your image is wonderful, and the gold you added looks fabulous!
