A new week - Freshly Made Sketches #3

Pin It Now!

Last week I had planned on completing the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches but it didn't happen; time got away from me. However I managed to try it out this morning & I am really excited to share my creation with you today! :) It makes me smile just looking at it :)

I must say I haven't really been a huge fan of the vintage look up until now. But I confess I love how this went together & the colors I used. The card base is Baja Breeze & I stamped the sentiment from the set "Snow Swirled" in Soft Suede. I punched a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock using the Scallop Trim Border punch then sponged the edges with Pink Pirouette ink before adhering it to the card base using sticky strip. I cut a piece of 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" Very Vanilla card stock & created a pattern using the tree from the same stamp set, "Snow Swirled", & Baja Breeze ink. I also sponged the edges with Baja Breeze & adhered that using sticky strip. On a 3 3/4" x 2 1/5" piece of Very Vanilla card stock I stamped the girl from the set "Greeting Card Kids" with StazOn. I colored her in using a few markers (Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Always Artichoke, & Crumb Cake, & Blush Blossom) & a blender pen. I inked up the mid-sized snowflake from "Snow Swirled" with Baja Breeze ink & stamped it twice. I then inked up the smallest snowflake from that set with Crumb Cake ink & stamped it a few times. The edges were sponged in Crumb Cake before being popped up on dimensionals on the card base. I used my Real Red marker & colored the tiny ornaments on the tree & added some Dazzling Details to parts of her hat & coat. I used the Doily Triple Layer punch set on the 2nd position & punched out "snowflakes" out of Baja Breeze & Pink Pirouette card stock. The edges were sponged in the coordinating color & popped up on a dimensional. I added a large rhinestone to the centers & a tiny rhinestone on the top of the tree.

I confess I'm starting to really like the vintage look the Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, & Crumb Cake create. I'm wondering what other creations I can come up with using them...? :) Hope this little card makes you smile too :) Have a great day!
