Christmas Gleaming Mini Slim Line for #GDP270 | Sketch Challenge

I've been creating Christmas cards for some dear family and friends that need to get in the mail this next week!  The sketch challenge at the Global Design Project this week was a welcome surprise spotted when scrolling through my emails during a water break.  This #GDP270 layout was just the inspiration I needed to create a fun Christmas card for Benji's groomer, Miss Judy, when I picked him up yesterday afternoon!

The grumpy Shih Tzu in the Playful Pets DSP was a must for this card!  And the fussy cut Christmas Gleaming holly boughs leftover from last year's Christmas cards were the perfect backdrop. 

The holly boughs were stamped with Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink (retired) onto Whisper White cardstock.  Old Olive and Real Red Blends Combo Packs were used for coloring the holly.  The fussy cut holly was previously fussy cut last year (nothing like having extras!!!) so fussy cutting the DSP went quickly.  The Painted Labels die was die cut from the Real Red cardstock panel to create a recessed window against the Old Olive cardstock panel.  The Tasteful Textiles embossing folder was used to create a plush feel.  The Tag Buffet sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White  and fussy cut.  Glue dots adhered to the holly berries allowed for just right arranging of the leaves behind the pup before he was popped up with dimensionals onto the adhered card panels. The layers were adhered with liquid glue to the Whisper White Thick mini slim line card base.

 

The inside of the card was left blank for writing the perfect note to Miss Judy.  Lining the envelope with the DSP was the finishing touch.  

I hope that this has inspired you to consider finding a sketch challenge for some of your cards.  Inspiration is everywhere!  And while you're at it, don't forget to check out the weekly challenges over at the Global Design Project.  

Have a blessed day!
