This week at Freshly Made Sketches, I decided to use my favourite Christmas stamp! I pulled out "Beautiful Season" and the "Woodgrain" background stamp to make this card. The bird is coloured with my Stampin' Write Markers in Pear Pizzazz, Real Red, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch to create the sides of the card in Old Olive and the ribbon is Old Olive Taffeta ribbon. The sentiment was embossed with white craft ink and punched out with the Wide Oval Punch.
Thank you for stopping by!!! We hope you will join in for this week's sketch challenge. LeAnne Pugliese is our Featured Designer this week, she is a dear friend and probably the first friend I met when I first started to blog.
