I'm excited to share our newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches with you! Our hostess this week is Kim and her design gave me the perfect opportunity to challenge myself with an unusual color combo for a Christmas card.
The color challenge at The Paper Players is so pretty so I challenged myself to create a Christmas card with it. It would have been easy to incorporate the black with the sentiment but I wanted to see if I could pull it off using some sparkly black paper. So I used said sparkly paper for the stripes, stamped a tiny sentiment in between them, and added a layered snowflake which I die cut in silver sparkly paper and white. To finish off the snowflakes I put a little bit of white Nuvo drops in the center. I love how it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by! My fellow Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some fabulous card with this sketch so be sure to check them out!
