Hello! Hope you are staying cool in your part of the world. It has been pretty warm in my corner of the world, but things are supposed to cool down a bit this week. I hope so! Anywhoo, I have a card to share for Freshly Made Sketches and Color Throwdown. Let's have a look.
In a recent order from Scrapbook.com I got the super cute and very tiny Waffle Flower die and stencil set called Postage Poinsettia so I just had to use it. And given that the CTD colors are red, yellow and green it was absolutely perfect for the challenge. I stenciled it three times, stamped each one with postage images from the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stamp set and then die cut each one with the matching die. I embossed a white cardstock panel with the Simon Says Stamp Holly Branch embossing folder and then used my Waffle Flower 0+ blender brushes to add green to the holly leaves and red to the berries. I turned the sketch on it's side to create a landscape card rather than a portrait one and attached the three "postage stamps" using thin foam squares. I finished with the sentiment that I found in my stash that I foiled several years ago using red foil. Now I have one more Christmas card to add to my small stash!
Well, that's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
Love your little postage stamps on the sketch!
