Invitation to create with 4eScrap - sketch by Sandelsa

Hello scrapworld!

Have you joined us last week or only plan to? Hope you do! Here I have another inspiration for you - an awesome sketch by Sandelsa. 

I know it still is summer and really, I don´t think of Christmas too much yet, but this year I decided to start creating Christmas cards soon, so I have enough of them for an annual fair that raises money for a foundation supporting kids with oncologic diseases. And this sketch was perfect for it!

I made two cards and went for my favourite Chrsitmas color combo - kraft, white and gold, with a tiny bit of vellum.

´Cause I haven´t taken an opportunity to use them yet, I really wanted to use the mistletoe stamps and dies. As mistletoe usually hangs down, I decided to turn the schema upside down. 

White embossing looks good on kraft, don´t you think? 

The bouquet is supplemented by a branch, which has become one of my top ones - it is great for all kinds of clusters.

Sentiment is made by alphas I diecut with the newest word transparency "Enjoy",  using only a part of the word. 

The second card is kind of a negative to the first one. I stamped mistletoe on white (aquarelle) cardstock and colored it with gold watercolor. When it dried off, I dripped droplets of Glossy Accents on the gold spots to add dimension. 

The mistletoe bouquet hangs on a simple circle and is completed by a sentiment printed out on a printer on this card.

The gold pearls add the final touch. I adore hem for their delicacy. 

Finally, here are both cards together and I am off to make some more of them. ;)

Be sure to check out great projects by Australe, Cathy, Eva, Fati, Mary and Sandelsa as they are just Wow! and have a wonderful day!
