Even though the sketch has circles, my mind immediately saw bows and ribbons. I had that all cut out before I had any idea what I was going to do for a sentiment. I thought about a gift tag or tags but they just hid too much of the ribbon then I realized that this sentiment set by Hello Bluebird was the right size and had multiple options that could work together.
A shout out to Brian King and his blog Stamp with Brian. If you are into Stampin' Up (or even if you are not), you definitely need to follow him. Not only wonderful cards - but he also gives color combos and that's my shout out today. I know the color combination on my card isn't all that unique - but it is for me. It would never have occurred to me to pair Calypso Coral with classic Christmas colors. Not to mention, Mossy Meadow doesn't come out often for me (although as I'm typing this, I really don't why - it's gorgeous). This is a trio of colors from this post on his blog and I thank him for the inspiration!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
