I got all my paperwork caught up, so I’m rewarding myself with some stamping time and the Freshly Made Sketch 602 tempted me to give it a try:
Before I show you my card, let me ask a question: Do you look for a sketch to match the stamps you want to use -OR- do you find stamps to put into a sketch you found?
I’ve done both, but today it was sketch first, stamps next.
Wouldn’t this be a fun invitation for a New Year’s Eve Party? You can see how Amy O’Neill used the same sketch & stamps to make a birthday version here!
Bold stamps always appeal to me (no coloring required) and I thought the way you could “build” different party blowouts with the Year to Celebrate stamp set (NEW in the Sept-Dec mini catalog) was super cool:
I also love that the back side of many of the holiday Designer Series Papers are NON-HOLIDAY patterns, so they can be used all year long. The patterned paper I used on my card is the BACK SIDE of the Merry, Bold & Bright DSP that I GUARANTEE you are going to see a LOT of in the next few months!
Hope your weekend includes STAMPING TIME too!
