It’s time for another fabulous challenge from Freshly Made Sketches! Yet again, I pulled out my Winter Memories set and Core’dinations Card Stock and created a card which exudes “warm winter wishes”. I call this no frills, down and earthy creation a “comfort card”…just like “comfort” food. Enjoy!
This card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.
- Texture and color! Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso Core’dination Card Stocks make a rich and yummy color combination. When passed through the Big Shot with the new Lacy Brocade and Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, the texture is beyond compare!
- Adorable and retro! Who can resist the “Snowpeople” image from Winter Memories! Of course, I was a push-over for the sweet little puppy! I lightly tinted the image using Blender Pens and inks, and added Dazzling Details for sparkling snow.
- Lacy and elegant! The Scalloped Edge Finishing Touches Edgelit adds a touch of elegance in contrast to the woodgrain panel!
Of course, today marks the day that the new Holiday Catalog goes live. As for me, I wanted it all! But, I especially love the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folders I featured on this card. What about you? What tops your list? Won’t you let me know in today’s comments? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one! And don’t forget…if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Hi Ann, what a great card with that sweet stamp set and embossing folder. They are both on my “lengthy” wish list from the new Holiday Mini. Toxic Treats stamp set as well as the Autumn Accents Bigz die are at the top of that list as well. Thanks for the great inspiration as always!!
Oh Ann…this card is so beautiful! I love Christmas cards and the colouring on yours is just gorgeous! That woodgrain background just makes the card!!!

Another gorgeous card Ann! I don’t know how you decide which card design to send out. They are all stunning!
You are rocking that new core paper for sure! Love the light winter image against the dark background – just sets it off so well!
What a sweet image. Love the cute, little puppy. The colors and embossing are beautiful together.
Too many favorites from the Holiday Catalog!
Wow Ann, gorgeous texture and colours, I absolutely love the scene on the front too! Beautiful work as always!
AWWW! SO cute! Reminds me of building snowmen with my sister. 🙂
Ann how cute. I can already tell the woodgrain EF and the new DSP is one of your favorites this season…. so cool looking, can’t wait for my order.
Hugs.
I am loving this set more and more. And, I love the color combo of Cherry Cobbler and EArly Espresso.
