Today we are playing in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, #302. I have made it my mission to become a master at masculine cards and I think my take on this sketch fits the bill.
It has been a long weekend of creating. I have had this card done for a few days but couldn't manage to get around to photographing it. I don't k now about you, by I find photographing a daunting task sometimes. My creative space gets seriously overrun when I'm on a mission and it takes a lot of work to get my Photo Booth set up it seems like.
Here is the challenge sketch for this week.
For this card I used the Christmas Quilt stamp set, Quilt Builder Framelits, and Quilted Christmas designer paper. All from the upcoming holiday catalog.
Then I had the idea to get some texture into my little Christmas tree, so I hauled out my Seaside embossing folder and gave it a shot. I think it turned out perfect!
It still needed something else, apparently I have a hard time holding back the froufrou, so to keep the rustic Christmas theme I found this linen thread in my stash.
I've been on a roll with Christmas cards lately for some reason and we haven't even made it to Halloween yet. I need to shift gears for a little while, but new product is so much fun.
Have a fabulous day, and happy crafting!

Beautiful card! Wonderful selection of elements and the patterned paper is gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karren. I have been trying to master masculine cards. I had my heart set on a black and red plaid dsp but I think I made it work.
DeleteThis is a great take on the sketch! I love how you used various papers for the background. Many thanks for playing along with us at freshly made sketches.
