Hello dear friends and followers! I'm excited to share with you that the DT at
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown 52CCT have decided to mix things up a bit and add a different challenge to our list. I think you are going to like this one a lot! For every month that there is a 5th Saturday our challenge for you at
52CCT is to
Pick a P
revious - sketch and make a new card with it to share with us. Sometimes this will be pick a previous color combo. Actually if you wanted to get very creative you could combine a previous color combo and sketch challenge for your entry.
For my first "previous" option chose a previous sketch by Louise that I thought was particularly fun. Here was the sketch:
Here's what I did with it this time:
Very little stamping (just the sentiment) thanks to the darling DSP. I lined the inside with that same ornament pattern and added an additional sentiment (sorry couldn't get a good photo for some reason of the inside). Here's what I did with the sketch the first time (using that same DSP paper):
I just found this to be a very versatile sketch and loved the way it helps me use up some of my hoarded patterned paper :o) .
So...I can't wait to see what you choose to do this week with our "new" challenge option of PICK A PREVIOUS Sketch and/or Color Challenge. The other talented DT members at
52CCT have also made some wonderful inspiration for you this week - so please pop on over and give them a visit as well.
Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D
These cards have such a cozy Christmas feel to them! Even though you've used the same color combination for both your new and original card I think they look really different. Using one or two DPs for the card base really gives a different look even though the design is the same.
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle. Love your sweet gingerbread house! Adorable. Great papers too. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I do like the papers and the sweet little house. Loving the textured mitten inside too!
ReplyDeleteYou do do such lovely things with patterned papers Danielle - gorgeous card - Jacqueline xx
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I really like what you did with this sketch! That gingerbread house is adorable. Very fine work this week.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Danielle, I didn't even recognise it! You've made such a fabulous card! Beautiful little gingerbread house and I agree,it is a good way to use DPs,
ReplyDeleteLouise xx
The little gingerbread house covered with snow is really cute! I like the festive ornament designer paper.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Danielle! LOVE these colors--you and Ruth must have been on the same color wave length this week! ;) I adore that you used the sketch on both the inside and outside!!! Fabulous card friend! :)
ReplyDeleteOoops...I didn't read! LOL, I LOVE that you showed your sketch card from the first time around--I thought that was the inside! ;)
ReplyDeleteTotally cracking me up Mynn!
DeleteWow Danielle, a fabulous card using that sketch! You're so right, that layout is perfect for using DSP and those are my fave SU! Christmas papers, they've got such a happy vibe! We deffo were on the same wavelength this week 'cos I used those same papers too! What a great idea to show your original card using the sketch - even though you used the same DSP pack and layout the cards are so different!
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying a wonderful summer my friend! : ) Ruth x
I love these cards. Do you have the measurements for the pp? And your coloring is amazing. Thanks so much. missy.mckibben@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Missy. The overall card is 5 1/2" square. I cute the DSP to be 4 3/4" square then I cut it diagonally twice to get the panels. You could go with a 5" square pp too. Depends on how much of a gap you want between the pieces.
DeleteGlad you liked it. Thanks for your comment. Hugs D
