Freshly Made Sketches 64

Hello!  It's Wednesday so that means there's another great sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  This week Cindy has created a fabulous sketch that I know you're going to love!



Isn't this a great sketch for showing off layers of pretty DSP?  I thought so!  I used some pretty paper called Wintergreen (that has been long-retired) and added some zig-zag stitching to the Always Artichoke layer.  I layered the snowflake layer on some Sage Shadow (which I saved just because I've got oodles of this DSP still hanging around) then jazzed it up by layering that on some Cherry Cobbler.  I struggled for a bit on what to do for the round element of the sketch and changed my mind a bunch of times before I decided to use this round stamp from Sweet Season.  I added a red glimmer brad in the center to make it a little more festive.

I hope you're inspired by the amazing creations of the Freshly Made Sketches design team and can join us in the gallery this week.  Just click here to check them out!
