Eastern Note for Sunday Stamps

Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the weekend. It has been SO cold and rainy here...five straight days of steady rain and near freezing temperatures...wondering what happened to spring! I hope it is nicer where you are!!

Today marks the start of a new sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps...

Since I have been obsessed with the Eastern Palace Bundle lately, I naturally used it for my project:

I began with a piece of Whisper White card stock which I embossed using the Softly Falling TIEF. I purposely cut it a bit narrower than I needed so as to leave room for a pretty gold scallop border sticker, which I adhered directly to the thick Whisper White card base. I used some Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate for the rectangular element and then die-cut a medallion from Whisper White card stock using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I backed the die-cut medallion with a gold foil circle to make it pop against the white background.

I heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the Eastern Beauty stamp set, in gold and added another piece of border sticker along the bottom. I added a gold tassel and some retired gold cord, which works perfectly with the tassel and is still available on the Clearance Rack in my webstore.

I love how quick and easy it is to create elegant projects with this suite of products. The stickers and tassels add so much to the finished project and the medallion dies...well they are beyond fabulous! If you have not taken advantage of the pre-release of these amazing products yet, you don't know what you're missing!

This is a super-versatile sketch...be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's projects and then give the sketch a try...and be sure to share your work with us so we can marvel at your creativity!

Have a super Sunday!
