Freshly Made Sketches #718 - designed by Amy, is the first sketch of this popular sketch challenge site for the New Year. It's so clean and sleek, I found it frightening, however decided to dive in an see what I could come up with. Here's their sketch which closes on January 12th in the afternoon.
Here's My Card:
Because this sketch was intimidating to me because of its simplicity and clean and simple lines, I didn't want to overthink what to make. I decided to look through stamp sets I'd purchased at the end of the year but not used, for inspiration. Here is my card:
This 18 piece photopolymer stamp set with 10 coordinating dies is called Branching Out. I bought it as a bundle because I'd ran across a Christmas card I wanted to recreate. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to play with it.
See those tiny little pine cones they are cut out with one of the coordinating die cuts and then sponged with a dauber to add some depth and detail. It was a great way to use up some Pecan Pie paper scraps.
