Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #553!
This lovely sketch from Cécile Ribon inspired another Christmas card from me. Our heat wave had me initially thinking snowflakes but in the end I couldn't resist creating a glitter paper and vellum poinsettia in snowflake colors.
A little Tumbled Glass Distress Ink was blended on the center of the panel first and then a trio of rectangles were cut to form a stencil for the a little more ink. The Memory Box Bold Christmas Greetings sentiment is heat embossed in Ranger Liquid Platinum before the layered poinsettia is added.
A few Pretty Pink Posh gems add a little extra glitter to finish the design.
I hope you check out the amazing Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
