Yesterday’s Sketch challenge on SCS was a fun one.
I just tweaked it a itsy bitsy bit by adding an oval layer over the 4th layer.
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate chip cardstock folded in half.
Next is a ticket corner punched 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock followed by a 1/4″ smaller piece of Ski Slope Designer Paper. The edges of the designer paper were paper pierced.
The horizontal piece of designer paper comes from the Bella Rose Designer Paper pack and measures 2″ x 4 1/2″. The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch, it was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock and the edges were paper pierced. Double Striped Baja Breeze Grosgrain ribbon was tied around it.
I added two 1/4″ Chocolate Chip circles on the top right of the Ski Slope Designer paper and three 1/4″ circles on the bottom left of the Bella Rose strip. Those were topped of with Pretty in Pink Brads. The sentiment is from the stamp set To You & Yours in Brown Palette ink. It was punched out with the 1″ circle punch and layered on a chocolate punchout from the Designer Label punch. One of the tabs of that punchout were cut off with the 1 1/4″ circle punch to make it look more like an ornament. The sentiment layers were adhered under the knot of the ribbon.
I stamped the dove from To You & Yours in Brown Palette ink on Shimmery White cardstock, colored it with Aqua Painter and Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red classic ink and cut it out with my Oval Nestabilities. It was layered on a slightly bigger Chocolate Chip Scallop oval (cut with Nestabilities as well) and the edges were paper pierced. The image was attached to the card with dimensionals.
To add just a little more umphf I added Dazzling Diamond Glitter to the swirl area of the dove with my 2 way glue pen. Next I punched out a star out of the Ski Slope Designer Paper with the small star punch, added a 1/4″ Chocolate chip circle over it and topped it off with a small clear Rhinestone brad from the Pretties Kit. I attached that with dimensionals on the bottom left of the sentiment layers.

I always really love your cards and have started doing more paper piercing because you use it quite a bit but I have a question about your technique. Do you pierce the top layer only and then adhere it to the next layer or do you adhere the pieces together first and then pierce? I try to get as close to the edges as possible with my adhesive and to do that I often put adhesive over the back of the piercings. This seems to lessen the effect once it is adhered to the next layer so I’m just curious how you do it since yours always looks so great. Also, which adhesive do you find yourself using most often? Thanks and have a great day!!
Absolutely stunning, Beate. The colors, layout, all the detail, and especially the sparkle of the dove. Just beautiful!
Beate this card is sooooo pretty! Love the elegant look!
Gorgeous image… yummy papers… fabulous card, Beate!
This is gorgeous Beate! Love the layout!
