I don't design my sketches with a particular card in mind so it's always a fun journey when it's time to make a card with that sketch. This time around I was completely undecided about what I wanted to do but I had a vague idea about incorporating vellum. So I opted for a Christmas card and a simple color scheme. The kraft background shows off the vellum perfectly and I added some winter flowers that were embossed in white on vellum. The placement of my florals seemed a bit off so I added a couple of enamel dots in bright red to balance things out.
Thanks for stopping by. My Freshly Made Sketches design teammates have made some fantastic cards with this sketch so be sure to check them out. I hope you'll join us in the gallery!

Beautiful card with the vellum die cuts and kraft background. I like how you added the two red enamel dots to balance things out.
Jen, I think by now you must know just how to tick my boxes - this card does it for me!!!! What a gorgeous sight in vellum! I have that SSS set out to make a few cards - don't be surprised if it comes to your gallery as a total CASE- maybe in grey? ohh la la! xx
