Freshly Made Sketches: Be Very Merry

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Mitchell and here’s what I did with it!

 

I kind of ignored the Gingerbread dies in the Stampin' Up holiday catalog until I started seeing people use them in ways that weren't gingerbread.  Don't get me wrong - I LOVE gingerbread and the first card that I made with these dies was definitely about the gingerbread (and the peppermints) - but I love flexible products.  I fell in love with this paper set because of the unique Christmas color combos. So it made sense to bring them both together.

I'm not really certain how all of the pieces in this card go together.  I have snow embossing and a snowflake - although it's a green snowflake?!  Then holly in the background.  Then a bell??  Let's just say it's all "Christmas" and we'll leave it at that.  But the mix led me to my sentiment.  This is an old sentiment that was sold as a single stamp and I'll never part with it! 

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