The calendar says Wednesday so that means it's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! The calendar also says autumn but the temperatures outside are saying summer, so what do I know! I am loving these dog days of summer, though. Winter is coming so I want to enjoy this warm weather as long as possible. But back to our Freshly Made Sketches challenge. This week our hostess is Amy and I love her classic sketch.
I used some scraps I had on my desk from my favorite poinsettia die plus the colors from the latest Just Us Girls challenge pointed me in the direction of a Christmas card. I loved that little oval on Amy's sketch so I dug deep into my stash to find my long-neglected oval nesties. I put that altogether and voilà! My card was born!
Thanks for stopping by! I've checked out the cards my Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made and you do not want to miss them so be sure to check them out! I hope you'll join us in the gallery!
