This die set is one my favorite from last year. It's already retired (I hate how fast Stampin' Up sets come and go). I used it on quite a few cards last year: Ho Ho Ho, Joy, Giving Thanks, and Peace. That may only be four cards, but for me - with my embarrassingly large Christmas stash - that's a lot of cards out of one set. And now I'm doing one more!! But how could I not with a sketch including three long rectangles??!
In contrast to the old die set, this card uses the brand new Stampin' Up In Colors. As soon as I saw them, I knew they'd be my five main colors for Christmas and winter. The green and red and even the turquoise was obvious but I even thought the Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis would be perfect for winter. I must have been the only one that thought that because when Stampin' Up came out with their Christmas catalog, they didn't use these two colors anywhere. So I'm setting out to prove they are great for Christmas! The bottom layer is Orchid, the glitter paper is orchid and the sentiment is Starry Sky. The pearls are not from Stampin' Up but I got them specifically to match these colors.
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
