Hey Crafty Friends!!
I am popping in with a card that I created for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #759. I have not been able to make a card just for fun lately as I have been busy creating for an upcoming release.
I had fun layering the Birch Press Designs Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers dies over some Craft Consortium red paper and a white embossed panel. The embossing folder is Linen by Spellbinders.
I used some Tim Holtz Rock Candy Glitter over my berry bunch. I used the Merry die from SSS and CZ Design for the simple sentiment. I chose to do a gold sentiment in an attempt to bring out the gold from the background. It is really hard to see though.
Below is the Freshly Made Sketches sketch I used for my inspiration:
On another note, I took the Tim Holtz Halloween Laboratory class last Saturday and HAD A BLAST creating a Halloween Vignette. I am a crafter and have made many ornaments, miniature furniture and soft sculptures but never something like this.
Tim is a FABULOUS instructor and I sent this off to my daughter this week. She LOVED it!!
All the tiny details were so much to make. I added the spider web myself. Not sure I love it but it is staying.
Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!

Nora, I love your take on this week's sketch with the gorgeous cluster of berries! So festive! Thanks for joining Freshly Made Sketches!
P.S. Your Halloween vignette just blew me away! So many wonderful details and I can imagine how much your daughter loved it. What a keepsake!
Card-making for fun is the BEST, Nora! I'm so happy that your crafty fun started with our Sketch at FMS! I love the gorgeous red berries and die-cut sentiment instead of a sentiment strip!

Oh how pretty this card is. Love the background and the modern feel on these traditional colors. Your vignette is fabulous too. So glad you joined us this week at FMS!
Gorgeous card where all the elements work together! And your TH laboratory is fabulous! My kit only arrived here in NZ a couple of days ago, so I'm looking forward to getting to work on it when time permits. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Such a classy looking Christmas card. I love the addition of the candy glitter! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
