AUTHENTIQUE PAPER - MARCH SKETCH CHALLENGE - CARD #2 OF 2

EVERY MONTH AUTHENTIQUE PAPER has a sketch challenge.
Here is the link for the sketch challenge for March.

You must make a separate project for each entry in the challenge.

I decided to make TWO CARDS FOR THIS CHALLENGE.
THIS IS THE SECOND CARD THAT I CREATED. 

CARD # 2 OF 2

The paper was mounted on a  5 1/2  x 4  inch blank white card.

FRONT OF THE CARD

 I used the sketch to create the design of the card.

All of the paper on the card is from Authentique Paper's  Free Bird Series
(front - Delight, back - Comfort)
in a 6X6 inch pad format.

As a mixed media artist, I like to purchase the 6 X6 inch pads for cardmaking purposes.

Some 6X6 pads from different companies are packaged as single-sided smooth cardstock.

However, The Authentique 6 X 6 inch pad from the Free Bird series has the

same high quality, heavy cardstock and the paper is double-sided and textured just like

the 12 X 12 inch paper in the same series.

It makes my cards look and feel professional.

Embellishments on the front:   miscellaneous lace, Tim Holtz tissue tape - Symphony,

misc. stamp on misc. piece of doily paper and bling.

BACK OF CARD

I like to back my cards with a coordinating paper.

I feel that it makes the card look richer and more "finished'.

I inked the edges and back of the card with Tim Holtz distress ink in Victorian Velvet colour.

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog.
