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! :-)

ReplyDeleteI'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.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely 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!
