It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is all about the sentiment. A big sentiment. Our hostess, Kim Singdahlsen, has a fun sketch for us that focuses on a part of the card that is often an afterthought. Take a look:

I have a stack of new goodies on my desk and I knew that one of them would be perfect for this sketch. There are some new Christmas-themed ephemera packs in the holiday mini-catalog that I could not resist. One of the packs, the Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack has lots of large and small sentiments.

I started by stamping the Falling Snow background stamp with Versamark ink and heating some white embossing powder on a piece of Night of Navy card stock. I love this background stamp, and know I’ll be using it a lot for Christmas cards. I cut out some holly leaves and berries using the Reindeer Fun dies, and placed them under the sentiment.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch. We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery each week. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has made for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
