A snippet to share with Freshly Made Sketches #548

I had just enough left of my emboss-resist pine panel to add to a card front - the FMS548 Sketch by Jacquie provided the perfect home for it...


I even treated my sentiment strip to a little wash of color!  The pinecones come from another
oldie but goodie from Altenew c.2015.  


I have to give Dawn at Wplus9 the idea for using this torn vellum.  She used it here, and it was love at first sight!  Something else to fall in love with again, and again?  Ranger Platinum embossing powder - always smooth, gorgeous color.

I'd better send this off to the gallery now.  Thanks for stopping by!  It gives a rainy day all the rainbow a girl needs!

Another beautiful pine card, Michele! The torn vellum gave the pine panel a different look. The doodle-like pinecones are cute and fun, and the watercolor wash sentiment strip is so pretty! The Soft Succulent ink pad and Ranger Platinum embossing powder are on my with list! ;-)

Gorgeous card Michele! Yes it's me... I'm still here just not able to visit that often or create but I love looking in

Love, love, love this torn vellum, Michele! I loved it before behind the sentiment and now you've let it be the star! A perfect way to show off these embossed resist pine boughs! Awesome pinecones too!

Way to use that pine snippet, Michele! The liquid platinum EP is interesting in that sometimes it leans toward gold and sometimes silver. It's a cool thing!

Oh I remember when tearing your jeans was all the rage….so cool like your vellum! And I love the diecut on the pin ones! Beautiful holiday card!
