The dear Jen Brum has come up with a clean and really awesome sketch for this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  I love all the possibilities it provides for die cuts or stamped images.

I went all in on the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set for this card.  I love when you can stick to only one set and this set really is fabulous.  I know it is mostly a sentiment set but the combinations of sentiments give so many options!  And then there is the snowflake.  Love this snowflake!  I stamped the image onto Tip Top Taupe card stock using Versamark ink, added White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed.  Then I cut it with my 2-1/2″ Circle Punch.  On another layer of Taupe, I stamped the sentiment the same way and embossed.  I centered the circle just laying it on the Joy layer and placed my circle template on top of it.  Once that was in the right spot, I used my Piercing Tool to add the circle detailing.  I popped the snowflake on Dimensionals and added Basic Pearls.  I love the color scheme on this.  A little more toned down but clean and elegant.

I have to confess that I want to keep playing with this sketch and you might see some more from me over the next few weeks using it.  Thanks, Jen!! I suspect you will feel the way and I hope to see your creations in the gallery!

I will be back tomorrow with a really fun card and a video.  Hint:  Another product review for Splitcoaststampers!!!  See you then!
