It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Amy.
I don't often order things the day they come out. I generally wait to see if I'm still interested a week or more later. It's amazing how many times something new comes along that catches my attention more than the first item (I must have "squirrel" syndrome!) But a set of dies came out recently that I ordered within minutes of their release - My Favorite Things Birds of a Feather.
The birds are cute and quirky. There's a few short, squat ones and then other taller birds. There are multiple leaves and flowers and hearts. My favorite things to do is groupings of dies so I can see these coming out regularly. (Not the branch - that's a different company.) I did add just a bit of pattern on this little guy's wing - but you may have to click on the photo to see it. I have a stamp set by Concord & 9th called Background Blocks that is just nine little patterns but works perfectly for accenting little dies. (I'd love to have a set of small patterns like this but on slightly large stamps - if you have any ideas let me know!)
I do have someone special to thank for their years of friendship and a listening ear so I was thrilled when I realized this sentiment fit the card perfectly.
I hope to see you play along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
