Freshly Made Sketches #8

Good Morning - It is chilly and dark out my window. Chilly for Victoria anyway at a balmy 3 degrees, I was scraping ice of my windshield rather then frost.

A fabulous new sketch was posted on Freshly Made Sketches yesterday, I started this card last evening but gave up when I found myself just staring at my supplies. It all came together this morning at about 5:40 as I was sipping my tea, my husband thinks I am crazy :) but that is nothing new.

This is the sketch:


I have left this Designer Paper out so I can see it and my eyes are just drawn to it, maybe it is all that wonderful glitter.



I have two of these stamps with Thomas Kinkaid images, I don't think I ever really do them justice. I have tried to colour them in the past but I was not happy with that either. They really are stunning images.



Supplies: Natural Ivory and brown cardstock, Designer Paper- My Mind’s Eye, Silent Night Vignette and Vintage Christmas Expressions-Cornish Heritage Farms,  Recollections Gems, Spellbinders Nestabilites.

Cheers,
Nina

  5. I love the effect of the colors of your card. It's sort of a sepia tone that makes me think of vintage photographs. So pretty! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
