Holly Berry Rosette Tag Card - Sketch Frenzy Friday

It's amazing how quickly the week rolls by.  Here it's Friday already and it seemed it was just Friday yesterday.
Halloween is done and gone - thankfully no snow here, but some parts of the country got a dumping of snow.  Christmas is now on everyone's mind - including mine.
For today's card sample for the Sketch Frenzy Friday mini blog hop, I made a rosette tag card i.e. a tag within a card.  You'll see what I mean in just a second.

Today's sketch is by Tina Munske



Stamp: Sentiment  from Come to Bethlehem, Jolly Holiday bits
Ink: Basic black, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Daffodil delight marker
Papers: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper, Crumb Cake, Silver Glimmer Paper, Whisper White
Accessories: Two Tag die, Simply Scoring tool, Northern Frost decorative strip, Modern word label punch, 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punch, Stocking Builder Punch, White Baker's twine

The tag and the layer for the card front were made first.
A slit was made using an exacto knife (the punch wouldn't reach) the width of the tag.
The card front layer was then attached to the base and the tag inserted.

Looking at the card one would never know the treasure it hides

Now let's see what you do with this sketch.  Don't forget to upload it to the Sketch Frenzy home page here

Your next stop is to visit Patricia's blog here to see how she interpreted the sketch.  And don't forget to visit the blogs of the other team members and leave comments - as we all like them.  The names and addresses of the team members are in the side bar of this blog.

Merry Christmas at Frostwood Lodge - Stamping 411 226

It all started with a snowflake!
For days I looked at the sketch challenge with Stamping 411 here wondering what to put in the area for the focal point.
Then it hit me - a snowflake - no- 2 snowflakes - with a big brad in the middle embossed to match the color of the card stock of the second snowflake.  The rest of the card just fell into shape. Weird how things work sometimes!

Inks: Early Espresso, Versa Mark
