Freshly Made Sketches: Joy

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

Joy with Bird


I'm still working with a broken wrist and after a doctor's visit this week, it's going to be a while.  Thank goodness for great dies because I don't see myself actually stamping for a while. This card uses the Pretty Pink Posh Joy Shaker although I decided making a shaker was way too fiddly to do one-handed. Luckily I like it just as a die cut.  I have stamps from PPP that I thought would work nicely intertwined with this die but with an inability to stamp, I went looking for birds and found one of my favorite older sets, WPlus Folk Art Florals. I used mostly new in-colors from Stampin' Up which I am loving for a fresh and more contemporary look for Christmas.

Joy with Bird

Short on words - one-handed typing might be the hardest part.  (A really big apology to all of my blog friends who aren't hearing from me. Just know that reading your blogs is something that I can do and it's always a highlight of my day!)

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