Freshly Made Sketches is 100!!
Hi, everyone. Today I am delighted to help my friends over at Freshly Made Sketches celebrate their 100th sketch--woohoo!! The fabulous gals on the DT invited previous Guest Designers to the party and we were asked to play along with this sketch which happens to be the first-ever sketch--what fun!
So, if you follow my blog you may know that tilted panels always throw me for a loop-do-loop! This time, I thought it would be fun to do a mix of designer papers from the current Seasonal Catalog along with some other new seasonal toys I hadn't played with yet. With that in mind, I was able to embrace the tilt, lol!
I had the idea to try heat embossing on the new Silver Foil Sheets and WOW did it ever turn out lovely! I stamped the Festive Flurry snowflakes in Versamark directly on the Silver Foil sheets, sprinkled with Pool Party embossing powder and heat set for a beautiful SHINY finish! This embellishment didn't need much more than a Neutral Glimmer Brad and some Silver 1/8" ribbon to finish it off.
Did I mention that the snowflakes have coordinating Festive Flurry Framelit Dies that make cutting these snowflakes easy as one, two, three! Bundle the stamps and dies for a 15% savings!
Have you seen the sentiments in the Christmas Messages set? So many great ones! We've needed an update to our holiday sentiments and I love that this one includes sentiments appropriate for the inside too! What a great set.
I'd like to give a big shout-out to the Freshly Made Sketches gals who provide us with fabulous inspiration and sketches each week. Not only are they incredibly talented but loads of fun too! Congratulations, DT--here's to 100 more! Be sure to hop over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog for a list of all the participating designers as well as prizes that challenge participants can win. You do love eye candy AND prizes, right? Sure you do! :-)

I'd have never guessed that "tilting" was an issue for you, Nance! You can do ANYTHING! The embossing on the foil is amazing. I don't think I'd have ever thought to try that. Gorgeous card, love the choices of papers, the "ticket" and all the amazing details. Thanks so much for being part of the FMS celebration this week!
This is gorgeous Nance! Oh my goodness that embossed silver snowflake is stunning and I bet it is so much prettier IRL.
Wow - this is stunning! What a gorgeous colour combo you've used and that snowflake is amazing! Thanks for joining us for this celebration challenge at FMS!
Wow! This is so beautiful! I don't think I would have ever tried embossing on the foil. You did an amazing job! Thanks for helping us to celebrate this special milestone!
Wow- this is so beautiful! I am trying to tell myself I don't need those new snowflakes, but you are making me think otherwise! Beautiful!!
Absolutely gorgeous, Nance! Wow! I love the embossing on the foil sheets, too. what a beautiful effect. We used the same stamp set for this challenge, too. Ha! I must have been channeling my "inner Nance" for this challenge. ;) Gorgeous, as always, my friend!
