It's my turn to be the sketch hostess at Freshly Made Sketches and I think I came up with a sketch that has lots of room for interpretation. Rectangles? Who cares. Triangles? Boring. The sketch is merely a prompt for you to unleash your creativity. I can't wait to see what you create!
I, however, did modified triangles in the form of some slim trees. 😉
When I sat down at my desk to turn the sketch into a card I had a vague idea to use some triangular shaped trees, but honestly didn't know exactly how this design was going to go. Then I looked through my stash of stamps and found these trees already stamped and in the colors that I needed! Once I had all of those, this card went together pretty quickly. Some pearlescent snowflakes in the background, a bit of colorful paper, and some twine for added texture and my little Christmas card was born!
I've been absent from the Freshly Made Sketches blog for quite a bit this year because my work/life balance is out of whack. But it felt good to make this card and take back my craft room from my kitties! They had the last laugh, though, because I used a stencil for the falling snow and when I peeled it back from the card there was a big blob of cat fur stuck to the embossing paste!
Thanks for visiting and a special thanks to my teammates at Freshly Made Sketches who have been graciously putting up with my absence for many months. 😘 🩷
