Freshly Made Sketches: Special Blessing

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.

FMS Blessing

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.
