It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches!
I have a fun new die from Simon Says Stamp that called out to me specifically for this sketch! I love all of the dies coming out with words integrated as part of the die.
Everything came together quickly for me on this card, except for the khaki background. Plain Khaki looked stark. I tried embossing folders and even embossed with stencils, I used a stencil and embossing paste, I did the stitching around the outside. Nothing worked. Then I remembered this background die by Lil' Inkers called Quilted Stitched Pattern Die. It's such a nice, warm and comfortable look - I'm going to keep it in a prominent place on my craft desk during the fall and winter holidays!
I hope to see you play along at Freshly Made Sketches. There are many, many, MANY options with this sketch and I look forward to seeing what you do with it!
