This is my first post for today (my second, for the August release from NND will be up shortly following). After an amazing week of inspiration and celebration from Freshly Made Sketches, we are on our way to the next 300 sketches this week. The sketch hostess is our lovely friend Jen Brum and she has a unique angled sketch for us this week. I’m in love!!
I chose to make another Christmas card since I’m starting to get the holiday card making buzz. What better image than this beautiful flower from the Poinsettia stamp by Simon Says Stamp? I’m taking another Copic coloring class this Friday (YAY!!!) and I thought I should probably put in a little practice before going. So out came my reds and off to coloring I went. I added in some leaves from the set for another pop of color and then made the rest using Vanilla and Black. Yes, Vanilla. Because Stampin’ Up has a new Thick Vanilla card stock that is amazing!!!! And it works beautifully for Copic coloring!! I chose this sentiment from Concord and 9th since I thought it was a nice fit on the angle and then added some sequins in black. This patterned paper is retired from Stampin’ Up (I have huge stash of black and vanilla papers that I think will finally get the love they deserve!).
I hope you have a great time with this sketch! The team has provided their always spectacular inspiration so check out their work! Thanks so much for stopping in. So glad to see you!

Oh, this is BEAUTIFUL!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous, Jennifer! Looks like you should be teaching that Copic class.
Beautiful card. Love the gorgeous poinsettia and your fabulous coloring.
This card is so beautiful Jen! I love that poinsettia and you’re colouring is fabulous (as always!). Love how it looks against that background paper! So pretty!
Your coloring is fabulous! Beautiful poinsettia! Classic Christmas!
You’ve done a great job with that poinsettia. Your coloring is fabulous! And I love how dramatic the card looks with the combination of deep red poinsettia accented by green leaves and set off wonderfully by the graphic black and vanilla background. This is gorgeous!
Oh this is so beautiful! Such a richly colored poinsettia and the black/white background really makes it pop.
Beautiful! I love that gorgeous poinsettia against the black and white.
Absolutely gorgeous! These colours are so striking together – they are really my favourite colour combo!
