This card was made for the sketch challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments #374
I used one of my favourite stamp sets - Peaceful Cabin, with its coordinating DSP "Peaceful Place DSP"
The colour scheme of this card is monochromatic - mainly tones of Black, Gray and White.
The card base of Basic Gray is matted with a Silver Foil layer (with the middle section die cut which was used for the center). On top of that was added a layer of DSP which reminds me of rain running down a window pane.
The focal image in the center is the die cut silver foil upon which is layered a Basic Gray layer, followed by a piece of DSP which depicts rows of trees, Across this DSP layer, near the bottom, is added a 2" strip of DSP (faint polka dots) with narrow strips of check pattern DSP at the top and bottom of this horizontal piece.
Above this horizontal strip is added 2 die cut foxes.
The sentiment, from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set, is stamped with Basic Gray ink and die cut with a layering circle die. It is added to the focal image using dimensionals.
The finished focal image is added to the card front using dimensionals.
To finish the card, three elegant Faceted dots were added to the card front
The finished card looks almost like a framed picture.

The peaceful cabin suite is just that....peaceful! I LOVE this monochromatic look you've achieved. The background paper with the shine adds so much, too! Thanks for playing along with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
The gray silver foil with the Basic Gray is a beautiful peaceful combination with the scenery. You did a wonderful job with the sketch challenge. Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
