We have the last sketch of 2024 up at Freshly Made Sketches, and it comes to us from our favorite Canadian, Jen Brum. While Jen is not afraid to hike mountains, she claims to be afraid of circles on sketches. After seeing her sketch, I think she’s just fearless and loves a challenge! Take a look:

It’s been a while since I’ve made a slimline card and it was fun to do something different. My card size is 8-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. Since I have been wanting to play with the Yuletide Village stamp set, I thought I could substitute the cute little buildings in the set for the circles in the sketch.

I started with a piece of Boho Blue card stock and stamped the Falling Snow background stamp with Versamark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder. I have really loved using this background stamp this season!

I then stamped the trees and buildings, colored them with alcohol markers, cut them out, and placed them on a piece of white card stock along the bottom of the card. The sentiment is from the Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

It was fun to get to color and “build” a little Christmas village!

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! Since we’re taking a little break for the holidays, you have until December 30th to post your card to the gallery. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration!

Enjoy your Wednesday and have a wonderful Christmas. I hope you are able to spend the holidays with those you love most. Thanks for stopping by!
