Wow, has it already been a week since I posted? I guess it is that time of year when the time seems to fly. So that makes it even better when Freshly Made Sketches designers give us a great sketch to inspire us. This week, the sweet and oh so amazing Cindy Hall is our hostess. I was working most of the time since last week so I was thrilled to see a sketch that I could use quickly when I sat down to stamp yesterday. The rest of the team has done it again! Wow, these ladies are fabulous!
I felt like this set really called for a pretty image and as I looked at the stamps, this fellow from Beauty of the Season jumped out at me. I really love him so much. And….with all the cold air, it is time for me to put my bird feeder out. I’ll be sure to be seeing his friends soon, lol! I colored this guy with my Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities and then used a little bit of Smoky Slate for the branches. I added a piece of the Typeset DSP which I thought was a nice complement and striking against the Cherry Cobbler card stock. I didn’t do a perfect job of following the sketch (sorry Cindy) but this just seemed to call for a fluffy bow. So I added one with my Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding. The inside will use one of the fabulous sentiment from the set and I have another Christmas card done. YAY!
I was out and about in the cold this week and will be back at it starting on Saturday through Thanksgiving. Being on reserve (on call) I have no idea where I’ll be but I hope to see some stampers along the way! Also, I have a fun announcement coming tomorrow for you. Just in time for those last minute holiday cards. And we’ll be doing our Fancy Friday early this month due to the holiday here in the U.S. You won’t want to miss this one! Thanks so much for stopping in today. See you tomorrow!

What a striking card! The modern black and white striped paper combined with all that rich Cherry Cobbler makes for an impressive Christmas card that just reaches out and grabs your attention. Stunning!
Whoa – instant holiday classic! Wonderful colors – beautifully colored – and oh so gorgeous ribbon and bow~!
This scene is exactly the sort of thing I see in the winter here. You’ve captured the beauty of a cardinal sitting on a branch with a white and snowy backdrop perfectly!
This is so amazing Jen! That cardinal is so beautifully coloured! I just say I love all of that red! So eye-catching! This will delight someone this Christmas!
No apologies necessary! This is an amazing interpretation of the sketch, and I love every little detail. The bow made with the shiny satin ribbon is stunning, and the color combo of red, white and black is my favorite. Your bird is perfectly colored! This is incredibly gorgeous, Jennifer!
Absolutely stunning! I adore these striking colours together and the image you’ve used & coloured is just perfect! This stamp set is on my wish list and now you make me want it now!
