Freshly Made Sketches #717 by Narelle will be the last sketch for 2025
so that all of you, as well as the design team, can enjoy the holidays.
Here is my simplified take on it.
to the left. After die cutting the pieces, I colored the reverse side and assembled
the bird. A cream colored panel was embossed and adhered to a kraft card
base. The wren and greenery were adhered per the sketch and I added a
simple one word sentiment.
Come and join our last challenge of the year. You have until Monday,
January 5th, 2026 to link up your card for this sketch.
Happy Holidays and see you in the new year!


Donna, it is the most beautiful sunny day here today - I just spent some time watching a pair of Bluebirds vying with some naughty sparrows for the nest boxes in our backyard! We would make sure there's a room available for your darling bird!
ReplyDeleteThis brings me so much JOY just looking at it!

Aah! This sweet wren works fabulously facing either direction, Donna! I love his 'nest' of holiday greenery and that creamy embossed background. Joy is a perfect sentiment for this card! You always inspire me and today I'm glad that I already have this wren die.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! You did an amazing job coloring that sweet backyard wren, and he looks great sitting on the winter greenery. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your sweet card. Birds are my favorite animal. Love the look of your birdie and goes so well with the kraft cardstock. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
