Freshly Made Sketches: Jesus is the Reason

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Amy.


My original idea for this sketch was to use a large mitten shape instead of the oval - bright colors, snowflakes, etc.  I was flipping through my notebook of dies and had a dramatic change in direction when I saw this die.

FMS The Reason

I have many of the Inspired series by Papertrey Ink.  They are stamp sets including sentiments that coordinate with one big word die and including "God", "love", "mercy", "hope", "blessed", "prayer" and more.  Funny thing though - the only one that I have used is "Jesus" and here I am using it a second time before making sure the others see ink.  So much for my December goal of using my unused Christmas stash!

I hope to see you playing along with us!
