My berries are looking a little smeared, and that's because they are! I thought adding a little WOS to make the berries sparkle would be a great idea, until I remembered that WOS and RED don't mix...grrrrr!! And of course they were already glued down, so it is what it is! I die cut a 5 1/4" by 4" panel with an oval die and then used SSS's Holiday Greenery EF and layered it to a panel of Boho Blue cs and a white card base. I did use foam tape behind the embossed layer and then replaced the oval piece and built my arrangement inside the oval. I finished with a sentiment embossed in white on a strip of the Boho Blue cs using PTI's Christmas Blessings stamp set and also added a few red gems from PFS. Other than the smeared red berries, I'm really pleased with the way this card came out!
You can find all the details to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge here, and this challenge is open till Monday, July 21st @ 3:00PM.
And one last challenge to add to is NBUS #76 since this is a brand new stamp set to me, although I believe the set has been out for quite awhile!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

You seem to be enjoying the sketches....I find them a good kickstarter when I am stumped. On to your card...I love the shades of red and blue you chose. They are gorgeous and work together beautifully. That ribbon is fab.
I'm having distinct memories of a country Christmas with this card! Great water can vase, and pretty details, Marcia
