This week’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is perfect for the season.

FMS Final 366-001

And a perfect excuse to use the new “Floral Fantasy: Christmas” stamp set. Despite the fact that I didn’t make all of my Christmas cards this year, and I certainly didn’t need any more Christmas stamps, there were three sets (by three different companies) that proved to be too great a temptation. “Floral Fantasy” was one of them. The nice thing about this set is there are many images that can be used throughout the year. But for these two cards (variations on a theme) I used a Christmas image–perfect for the sketch.

SilverTree2

I silver embossed the tree onto Weathervane cardstock by PTI and die cut it with a Simon Says “Stitched Rectangle.” Then I adhered it to a top-folded card made from the most elegant silver cardstock I’ve ever seen. I bought several sheets of gorgeous metallic cardstock at a lovely shop in the Third Ward District in Milwaukee when we were there in October. Finally I added a few rainstones (PTI).

Next up, a variation–same papers, slightly different design:

SilverTree

This time I silver embossed a sentiment from the same set onto a piece of vellum that I wrapped around the top layer.

I have a third variation of the card in a different color scheme, but I want to be sure the recipient has it in her hand before I post it.

    Stunning!!! You need to put these on Instagram and use #papertreypride! The shimmer paper and silver embossed tree is probably the best use I’ve seen of this stamp set. Oh, my this goes on my wish list.
