I'm very excited that it's Wednesday and time for a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! Our beautiful sketch, designed by Rita, has a tag on it which put me in mind of Christmas.
The colors for my card were inspired by the latest Christmas Card Challenge, although I took a little artistic liberty and added some silver sparkle! Originally I was going to use patterned paper in these colors for the different layers on the tag but then came across an old tag I made that had a sparkly circle on it. I used that idea for the circle and then added the two triangular trees in green and red to make it extra festive!
The Freshly Made Sketches design team has some great cards to inspire you to play along with us this week, so be sure to check them out. I hope to see you in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!
