Ultimate Card Showdown


Supplies: Paper (Pebbles Inc.), Stamps (Unity, The Artful Stamper), Glitter Embossing Powder (Stampendous), Gems & Pearls (Kaiser), Bird (Prima), Chipboard (Deluxe Designs), Cardstock (Prism)

2 Sketches 4 You is hosting the first annual Ultimate Card Showdown and here is my entry. For week one, the challenge was to create a card using this sketch. I have been having a great time using embossing powders lately. I LOVE the look of this red glitter by Stampendous. I used a piece of chipboard by Deluxe Designs to hold the sentiment and bird detail. It gives me that little bit of dimension that I love on a card. Be sure to take a peek at all the other gorgeous cards that have been created this week.
