This sketch had just enough room to play with a set that's been sitting in my new stash for months - Stampin' Up's Nuts for You. I wanted bright and cheerful paper, but I also wanted some sort of brown, so I pulled out Retro Fresh dsp which was also new and unopened, even though it's actually already retired! If you've seen the stamp set, it has a cute little opossum that you can hang from the tree limb - which is the entire reason that I got the set. So here I'm using it for the first time
without the opossum - but the bright blue in the paper drove the decision to add a bird and the bird took the opossum's branch!
Be sure to check out the inspiration from all of the Freshly Made designers - then play along! I love seeing the variety of creations from each sketch.
The paper is Stampin' Up Retro Fresh. It is retired; however, it is available as a digital download.
