Happy New Year and a Sketch Challenge

Happy New Year! Let's start 2012 with a sketch challenge. I'm a guest designer for Craft Project Central this month and I created this sketch challenge and card with a free mini tutorial. I'd love for you to play along. You could win a free month's subscription to Craft Project Central.

Layer your Crumb Cake card base with pieces of the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper according to the dimensions on the challenge sketch. Three 1-3/4” circles make this cute border. On the last layer of DSP, stamp the flourish and BFF from the Best Friends Forever Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Classic Ink. After stamping the BFF sentiment, trace over the letters with a VersaMarker and heat emboss with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. Ink the edges using a Sponge Dauber and a Crumb Cake Classic Ink Pad. Punch a ½” Circle from the Beau Chateau DSP. Center and attach this above the BFF sentiment. Add three Basic Pearl Embellishments. Tie a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim around the card and pin a Simply Adorned Trinket Crown to the bow with a Vintage Trinket Safety Pin.
