Card Patterns #145

Hi there!  Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  DH and I are headed out for the day, but before we leave, I wanted to share my DT card for this week's Card Patterns Sketch Challenge. This week we are being sponsored by Monica Weaver at Add A Little Dazzle.

Here is Card Patterns Sketch #145:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I started with a card base of GKD Heavy Weight Ivory and layered with panels cut from metal sheets in Poison Ivy, Gold Nugget and Scarlet Red that Monica generously provided to the DT for our samples. I punched the border of the gold layer with a SU Scallop Border Punch.  I embossed the red layer with a Sizzix Large Damask embossing folder.  I cut a frame for the image panel from the Gold Nugget metal sheet using a Spellbinders Lacey Circle die.  My image is a precolored digi from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I printed it on layering weight ivory and cut it out and popped it up.   A few red gems, some lace trim and a metallic red ribbon bow finished my card.  It sure was hard to get a decent photo with all the shiny metal!

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Card Patterns Sketch blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of my amazingly-talented teammates, our sponsor, Monica, and our wonderful Guest Designer, Jinny!  We hope you will be inspired to play along with us!

Have a terrific day and hope to see you soon!
