It’s Thursday and time to play with the Sketch Team at Pals Paper Arts! This week’s fun sketch is courtesy of Susan Itell. When I first saw this sketch, I felt it was a super one for emphasizing a sentiment. So out came the Sparkle & Shine stamp set. Of course, how could I not add some sparkle and shine to today’s card! I hope you enjoy this clean and simple “sparkler”!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ high when folded.
This card is definitely all about the sparkle. From Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper…
to Rhinestones…
to a single Iced Rhinestone embellishment…
this card couldn’t be any easier! The Basic Black and Whisper White color scheme is classy and sophisticated. I used the Diagonal Plate and Simply Scored tool to emboss diamonds on the the black strip. The intersections served as a guide for placement of the rhinestones, while adding textural interest on this clean card. Although it does not show up clearly in the pictures, Clear Wink of Stella adds a subtle sheen to the rays extending from the “diamond”.
I can’t wait to make a few more of these to have on hand. I feel they can be used for a variety of occasions. I will be sending this one out as a “thank you” card, but I could see it used for friendship and birthday cards, too.
As always, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only email away. Until next time…
Ooooh la la! This is a stunner, Ann!!
