Wow – another week has flown by… and next week is Thanksgiving – AAAgh! Welcome to the blog hop – we have a sketch challenge today that I think you’ll enjoy. I’ve used some new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products that I’m loving. This is a suite called Marbled Elegance Suite and I’ve used a bit of all of it :O) Let’s take a peek. What I saw in the sketch is three same images.

This Designer Series Paper is called Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP – cuz one side has specks or ‘rivers’ of gold. It’s stunning! The coordinating colors list Melon Mambo & Petal Pink. For me, I chose to use Pretty in Pink as a layer for the SDSP. The three hearts (from Hearts of Elegance Dies) are cut from a strip 1 1/2 x 4 that showcases some of the gold. These hearts have a tiny holes as a border and just add an elegant touch to the heart. The layer of a white heart is a scrap of Basic White., again die cut using the Hearts of Elegance Dies. This heart is very plain and is perfect for a border around the SDSP heart die cuts. Each of the hearts is on dimensionals and the strip of SDSP behind them is 5/8 x 5 and adhered to a different panel of the Marbled Elegance SDSP, 3 3/4 x 5, that I embossed for a bit of texture with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I slipped a bow made from the Gold Twisted Thread that’s part of the suite of products, behind the center heart and attached with a glue dot. So… what we have for the card front… Thick Basic White, standard A2 size, Pretty In Pink w/ adhered embossed SDSP attached with dimensionals. The SDSP strip is adhered with Stampin’ Seal, the Basic White heart is adhered with liquid glue and the three SDSP hearts are on dimensionals. Now… let’s look at the inside.

This is interesting… true confessions once again. I adhered strips of the SDSP to the Petal Pink instead of the Basic White panel I had set aside…, go figure. I decided to just go with it – why not? I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Elegance stamp set in Melon Mambo ink, then added this gold Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequin… so very sweet.- which completes using all the items in this online suite. L-O-V-E! Just sayin’

For the envelope… here you can easily see this gorgeous Marbled Elegance SDSP that I used for the hearts – adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. The heart on the front is stamped in Melon Mambo ink and is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set.

This is a gorgeous suite of products new to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES products and you may find them here.
