Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #502


Hello and Happy Wednesday!
I hope you're having a good week so far!  If you're in Canada, your kids might have just started back at school after a year of disruptions and virtual learning.  My boys are in brand new schools this year and their first day was yesterday.  I think it might have been harder on me than them.  A whole series of "what if's" went through my head all day.  School can be so hard for some.  I do hope they have a great year!

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  I have the honour of being this week's hostess!  I went with a pretty basic sketch!  I really am not all that creative!  I do hope you'll play along with us this week!

So I originally wanted a fall card.  I love fall and wanted to use some of my new leaf dies but I just couldn't make it work.  Let's just say I'm in a bit of a slump!  I opted for Christmas since I need to get my act together!  It is soon going to be Christmas!  Can you believe it?!

My poinsettia dies are going to be some of the most used dies I have!  I just love them!  The Peaceful Prints DSP has the most gorgeous red plaid paper that I couldn't resist using!  It's just gorgeous!  Red might just be one of my favourite colours!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Silver Foil
DSP: Peaceful Prints
Stamps: Poinsettia Petals
Ink: Stazon Black
Other: Poinsettia Dies, Banner Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the card the Design Team have created!  I also hope you'll join in our challenge this week!

Have an amazing day!
Jen

  4. This is a stunner! I love the plaid background and the beautiful poinsettia. I have a million poinsettia dies, but maybe I have room for one more? You've inspired me!
