The hardest part for me was to accept that I wasn't going to be making a card with everything nice and centered! The sketch challenge specifically said the card was to be off-center. But me and my OCPD had such a hard time with this. I mitigated this impulse to some extent by centering the red box inside the white box before I offset the whole thing! I'll live, but it sure looks strange to me :-)
The sentiment was stamped using Versamark ink, then dusted with detail white embossing powder and heat set. I offset the stamped words to the right in line with the sketch theme.
I used stitched rectangle dies to cut out the red and white boxes, then ran then both thru my Big Shot again with a rubber impressions pad to make the edges even more defined.
All the layers were glued together using Tombow (which I like since it allows you to move your layers around to align them before the glue sets). There's my OCPD showing thru again!
The final step was to wrap red/white butcher's twine around the card front, and tie a simple bow. I used a small glue dot to hold the bow in place.
This card was simple easy, so I am rating its difficulty level as a "1" out of a possible "5". I'll have to send it to someone who doesn't mind things being "a little off" this coming holiday :-)
