Playing in Paradise Sketch Challenge #3



Hello crafters,

I hope you are all swell and enjoying summer!  It is already the second Friday of July, so a new Playing in Paradise Sketch challenge starts today.  I get to play the role of lovely hostess and it is my first time actually preparing a sketch.  So, I hope you like it and will be inspired to come play with us!  I'd love to see what you make.  Here is my sketch:


For my inspiration piece, I created a card using the beautiful Trail Mix line by Bo Bunny.  All of the papers are from this line, and I used them for all the die cuts as well.


The rolled roses where made using Tim Holtz's Tattered Pinecone die.  I love how they turned out :)

Supplies:

Bo Bunny Trail Mix 'Bird Watching' 12x12 paper for the image
Bo Bunny Trail Mix paper pack
Hot Off the Press Lacy Frames and Borders Dazzles
Gesso
Sizzix Tree Line die by Tim Holtz
Bo Bunny Small Doily
Sizzix Mini Ticket die by Tim Holtz
Tim Holtz Odds and Ends Stamp set
Sizzix Tattered Pinecone die by Tim Holtz
Sizzix Rose Flower die by Susan Tierney-Cockburn (for the leaves)
Tim Holtz film strip ribbon
Tim Holtz Paper String
Distress ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen
Paper distresser

If you haven't already, I hope you will pop by the Playing in Paradise Sketch challenge and check out the beautiful projects made by my talented team mates and guest designer.  Then get out your crafty stuff and come and play for a chance to win some nifty crafty stuff and a guest designer spot in our next challenge.

Thanks so much for visiting and for taking the time to leave a comment.  I appreciate each one and am doing my best to visit everyone.  It may take a while, but I will get there :)

Hugs & happy crafting,

Dawn

Beautiful card, Dawn, with such rich details - it must look absolutely gorgeous in person - with the punched out evergreen trees, jeweled earth-tone colors, pretty white "lace" edging, and beautiful bird! I so admire your ability to tie bows with twine - I just fumble way too much no matter how hard I try LOL - I love this card with all the beautiful "muted" details. hugs, de
