Freshly Made Sketches #755

 
 
Sketch #755 over at Freshly Made Sketches is by yours truly. 
It seems that I had Christmas on my mind and even though you may see a tree, 
the shape can be anything you wish.   
 
 
I went with a tree.
 

 I saw, but never bought, Pinkfresh Studio's Festive Foliage stencils and die when
it was first released. Well, I'm glad that I waited because I was able to grab both
at 50% off. I was hoping the order would arrive in time for the challenge,
and although I had a "plan B", I was thankful that it did.
 
I stenciled the tree and die cut the image. A green strip was adhered per the sketch
 and I popped up the tree on a card base embossed with tiny dots. I chose the word
 "joy"  for my sentiment and cut it out of shiny silver card stock. Small clear sequins 
finished off my card.
 
And for those inquiring minds, here's a glimpse at Plan B that I was going
to share if my PFS order didn't arrive in time. Still a tree.
 

So, to tree or not to tree? The choice is yours! 
Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see how my teammates interpreted the sketch and 
join us if you can. You have until Mon, Sept 28th at 3PM EST to link up your card.
Hope to see you in our gallery!

  3. Two fantastic trees, Donna! I'm glad that PFS order got there in time that we could get a double helping! The stenciled tree is so pretty and I'm loving these colors! I love the embossed tree just as much with the pop of red joy! A great sketch for us, my friend!

  5. Two fabulous cards Donna - and the first one is all the better for having been as a result of a bargain! I love the pop of red against the tree on the second one too. Gorgeous! That triangle shape had me properly inspired this week - thank you!
