Freshly Made Sketches #9

The rain arrived today, we have had a number of nice sunny days but it took a turn today. I can't say I am disappointed as it just encourages me to spend more time in my craft space.

Freshly Made Sketches new sketch:




Isn't this whimsy tree cute. I have wanted to ink it up for ages. I embossed it with this gorgeous Moss Tinsel, I wish the sparkle showed a little more. I added some gold and red Stickles for the little bulbs.
I added some little gems to the mini holly leaves. to give them a little sparkle as well.

Supplies: Cream and green cardstock, Designer Paper-DCWV, Penny Black-Winter whites and greens, Cornish Heritage Farms-Vintage Christmas, Studio K- Moss Tinsel Embossing Powder, Bazzill basics- Mini Holly leaves, Recollections gems, Stickles.

Cheers,
Nina

    My Dear Sister,

    No matter if you do simple or fancy, you pull it off perfectly. I Love this - I know the tree is all glittery and sparkley - do you know the birthday card you sent was GLOWING when the sun hit it through the window tonight. We were like sitting there with our mouths hanging open - haha!

    Love the flowy and simple elegance to this card. Thanks for sharing.

    Love,
    Sis
