This week we are thrilled to have the fabulous Allison Fillo as our guest star designer at the Jingle Belles Blog. Alison created a one-of-a-kind sketch for us to design with.
I love sketches that combine circles and straight lines. For me this was a perfect design to combine all sorts of different vertical elements.
I started with another image from the same Crafty Secrets collection as last week. I loved how the circular design worked with the sketch. I found a rather solid background with some holiday words to ground my design.
For my vertical elements, I threw in some Tim Holtz tissue tape, a scrap of Webster's Pages paper, and a sticker that's been in my stash so long it had almost lost its stickiness (yes, I know … sad).
To cap off my vintage holiday design, I included an entire Zva Creative flourish in my favorite champagne hue … seriously, I think I may have to join a Zva support group if you know where there is one … love their flourishes.
So break out your scraps … or your brand new goodies that have yet to be used … and show us how you're going to get Sketchy for the holiday.
And to mix-it-up a bit, we're throwing in a little holiday goodie stash for one lucky card-making paricipant … and yes, if you link up multiple sketch cards, you'll have extra chances to win … go forth & create (and use JB12 if you upload to our Flickr Group, SCS, or other gallery).
*** Yes those are my favorite glittery snowglobe tags, some holiday sentiment stamps from Scrappy Cat, and some Making Memories Charmed tree plaques.
Love, love, LOVE this, Stef! The colors are beautiful, the Crafty Secrets image is spot-on, the papers and embellishments are perfect – WONDERFUL card! I’ve never tried the Zva flourishes – maybe it’s time…
if by “ZVA support group” you mean ppl who ♥LOVE♥ whatcha do with those things and encourage you to buy and use MORE OF THEM…i am soooooooooo here for ya, k??!?!?! 😉
love♥LOVE♥loOoOooove this card! but then…i don’t think you’ve made a JB card all year that i did not love so no surprise there! 🙂
ps: re non-sticky stickers…that’s not always AGE…i think it has to do with what sort/quality of adhesive they use…for example you’ll notice i almost always SEW my chip letters on… :0
LOVE your beautiful vintage card 🙂
Fab card, love the vintage images! Not sure where I got the kraft you asked about in my post, wish I knew bc I agree about the texture of it.
Such a pretty creation! Love the mix of vintage images and esp. that bling flourish!
The awesome pearl flourish adds elegance to the beautiful vintage theme of your stunning card!
sooo incredibly gorgeous!
I love the vintage images on your card. The pearl spray is such a unique way to add the embellishment on the left side.
