The sketch challenge is the CAS(E) This Sketch from Splitcoaststampers. Here’s the sketch.

I used the Peace & Joy Bundle to make this card. The Joy Dies can cut out 3 layers of the words Peace, Joy and Bright. There are coordinating sentiments in the stamp set to go with each.

Tips & Instructions

  • Pacific Point Card Base - 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2 (top folding)

  • Whisper White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Snowflake Splendor Layer - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

  • Cut a piece of Pacific Point Cardstock about 3 x 1 1/2 and back with Adhesive Sheet. Cut the thinest “peace” word using the Joy Dies. Using the Adhesive Sheet really helps since it’s so thin.

  • Cut the next size “peace” word from Whisper White Cardstock. Remove backing from thin “peace” and adhere to white “peace”.

  • Stamp “on earth” sentiment using Pacific Point Ink on scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Fussy cut leaving a small rim of white around it.

  • Adhere layers to card base and adhere sentiment to card.

On the inside stamp sentiment and star using Pacific Point Ink. I stamped off first (stamp on scrap to remove layer of ink) to get a lighter shade for the star. Stamp large star and then smaller one offsetting a little.

The Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper adds such a rich touch to any card. I added my sentiment on a punched circle that I layered on the gold piece.
