Center Stage Spotlight Team Blog Hop

Welcome to our very first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop!

Jessica Fick, our Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs has issued a challenge to all of our past and present team Center Stage Spotlight team members to make a Christmas card using one of these fun sketches:

 

Here is my card for this sketch challenge.



For my card, I used the Holiday Cheer StampTV kit. I embossed the trees and greeting using Stampendous fine detail embossing powder.

I love the scalloped element of Jessica's sketch. I would have never thought to run my strip of patterned paper over the scalloped circle and under the main focal image.



I chose the embellished version of the sketch but instead of two flowers, I used a small cluster of the Pure Luxury Neutral Buttons.



And remember, you don't always have to use thread to use buttons. Stick them on with glue dots and they make an adorable embellishment with very little work.

Card supplies: (All Supplies available at www.ginakdesigns.com)
Patterned paper- Cosmo Crickett Jolly by Golly
Card Stock- Pure Luxury White, Night of Navy
Embellishments- Pure Luxury Neutrals Button Assortment
Stamps- StampTV Kit- Holiday Cheer, Holiday Greetings
Other- Nestabilities, Stampendous Fine detail white embossing powder


This is a really fun sketch and one I will use over and over again.
