In The Frame

It's Release Week at Flourishes!!  This months challenge is a Sketch - and there's a choice of two.  I chose to use Sketch B - and it was quite a challenge because angled panels are really not my thing, but I have to admit that I rather enjoyed this one and am happy with the result!  The background papers are from the Rejoice paper pad by Creative Imaginations layered onto dark green cardstock, and the other panel is white cardstock die cut with a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle.  I created a frame by die cutting white cardstock with a Spellbinders Floral Oval die and then with a Small Classic Oval.  Then I made a notched tag for the sentiment which is from Flourishes Christmas Classics.  Finally, I stamped the Santa Boot from Flourishes Dear Santa set with Memento ink onto blending card, coloured it with copics, cut it out and mounted it in the frame with foam tape.

Copic Colours used were:  G40, G43, G46, Y21, Y35, Y38, R22, R24, B0000, B000, B00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9.

Thanks for visiting and greetings of the Season to you!
