The Make

I love the simplicity of this sketch and how the two feature panels can be the main focal point or just part of the overall design.

I chose to create one of the panels using my favourite sheet of Thoughtful Journey dsp and the other is Balmy Blue embossed with snowflakes.

The Night of Navy layer has also been embossed with a lovely wood grain pattern.

I've kept the skates simple in white with silver blades and blue laces.
