Freshly Made Sketches: Peace, Joy, Love

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


I just picked up Neat & Tangled's new Tree Duo stencil.  My original plan was to create an entire forest of sponged trees - but I wanted them to be misty and snowy and I just don't have the artistic skills to do that (although I'm going to keep trying).  Then I decide a few sparkly white trees with one colorful tree was just the ticket!!

FMS Peace Joy Love

(Sorry for the shadowy picture - my normal lighting set-up totally washed out the trees.)

I used one of the stencils minus one tree and added embossing paste with a sprinkling of glitter on top.  I liked the small pattern on this paper for the tree so I just matched up some cardstock colors.  I've always liked the look of this sentiment and I thought it was bold enough to stand alone.

I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

    The sparkly trees and the colorful one are a match made in heaven! And I've got that Christmas sentiment set from Technique Tuesday and I've got to say it's one of my faves. You're right - the sentiment does stand on it's own and looks great against the white background.
