Happy Friday! You know what Friday means...another one of Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenges! When I sat down to stamp yesterday, I had my new set "Time Well Spent" right there in front of me...waiting for ink. As hard as tried, though...I just wasn't "feelin' it". So, I finally set it aside (I'll try again later...) and reached for this adorable little set "Merry & Bright". While looking at this set, I remembered the new Figgy Pudding DP from Basic Grey that I recently received and thought that it would be a perfect fit!
This card was actually very easy to make! The tree is colored with Stampin' Write markers and popped up on Dimensionals. The strip underneath the ribbon is actually Vellum c.s. layered onto Soft Sky. I know it's hard to see this in the photo, but IRL it really softens the Soft Sky and I think it adds to the "winterness" of this card. (I know...winterness is not a real word...LOL).
To see more inspiring samples, make sure to check out what Beate, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have come up with!
I will be back this weekend with some goodies to give away!!! Have a fabulous Friday! ~Laurie
