Today is not only the day to reveal the newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches it is also only three more days until I'm on vacation! Yay me!
And yay for our newest sketch designed by the talented (and modest) Linda Callahan. When I first saw the sketch I had a pretty clear idea what I wanted to do, but then I saw the color challenge at Dynamic Duos and totally scrapped my original idea and went with this.
I can't seem to stop reaching for Gorgeous Grunge and for this card used it to create a little grungy background which I then highlighted with the chevron images. The accent is this gorgeous butterfly that I stamped in Bermuda Bay then clear embossed. I like doing that because it give the card stock some substance and creates a pretty shiny image. A few enamel dots later and I was done!
Christmas cards abound at Freshly Made Sketches, but you'll also find a birthday and a breast cancer awareness card so make sure you head over there to check them out!

Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, Great Friend (SU); Sketchy Chevron Border (Impression Obsession); Signature Greetings (Papertrey Ink)
Paper: Neenah Solar White
Ink: Real Red, Bermuda Bay (SU); Onyx Black (Versafine)
Accessories: My Girl Enamel Dots (My Minds Eye); clear embossing powder
