I finished cutting the kits for my weekend card class, so it was time for some relaxation! I turned to the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for some inspiration.
I've been doing a lot with the Reindeer Fun bundle, since I'm involved in the Creativity Abounds Virtual Stamp Camp next month. The thing that surprised me the most with the set (apart from how much fun I've had with it) is that you can do so much with it that doesn't involve a single reindeer!
The wee gift dies are so cute. I've used scraps of Take A Bow DSP to make the gifts and made the bows from scraps of matching plains: Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green,
To add to the sense of festivity, I gave the bows a lick of Wink of Stella. The background is embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder - isn't it a beauty? Useful all year round, even if it appeared as part of a Christmas suite. 😀
The finishing touch was the addition of a few Adhesive Backed Peppermints - they look good enough to eat!
This is such a great sketch. I have an idea or two for some other interpretations of it too.
