Freshly Made Sketches 466

 

There came a point earlier in the month, where my entire focus was getting Christmas cards mailed & non-holiday cards took a back burner. I’m trying to get caught back up on my “to send out” list. This sketch from Freshly Made Sketches has been brewing in the back of my head for a few days. 

Stamp: Hang in there Lawn Fawn

 I combined the Penny Black’s Saturday challenge with Rebecca’s VSN challenge.  

The background is shaving cream with alcohol inks.  I added glossy accents to the berries.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.  This has become my second addiction and have never looked back.  I love making new images and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue.  

A BIG thank you to ALL our generous sponsors for your continued support  throughout 2020
