For the squiggly line I went with a stencil (also with a squiggly shape) that I went over with embossing paste (if you click on the picture you can see the detail better). Then came the hard part - deciding what to do with the other elements of the sketch. I thought about snowflakes first but didn't have any that were small enough for the size of the card. So I started searching through my stash of sequins and found these gold stars. Then came the bold "peace" sentiment that I die cut with some gold glimmer paper. For a little dimension I popped up an ending to the sentiment so that the card reads "peace on earth."

ReplyDeleteGirl....Brilliant use of this sketch. "Calm" came to mind immediately when I saw this. And "elegant" as well. White embossing paste on a white base is just perfect. And then those glittery gold letters and stars. I love this card, Jen. You've totally rocked it. Happy Thanksgiving. xo Bev
