Holiday Wishes

 

This is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches card challenge.

I haven't posted any cards for a little while because I have been concentrating on my studies to get my GED diploma. So far, I have passed the final exams for 3 of the subjects that are required. Now I am working on Math. If I can pass the practice test and then the final exam, I will get my diploma.

The other day during our zoom class, we were asked what we were thankful for this year. Well, most of all, I am thankful that God still has me alive to be with my wonderful husband and my precious chihuahua. Second, I am thankful for everyone at the GED center. They all have been very patient and understanding when it comes to my anxiety issues and they do their best to make accommodations when it is necessary. And last of all, I am thankful to have so many people being supportive of me and encouraging me as I do my studies and tests. 

With that being said, I will tell you about my card...

As you can see, I used a white card stock for the blank card. I cut it down to a 5 3/4" by 4 1/2" card. I used a rectangle die cut on white cardstock for the card base.

I used a banner die with poinsettia Christmas cardstock for the background image. Then I used a piece of watercolor paper with a diamond die for the front image and for my sentiment. 

The sentiment is a clear stamp from "Twas the night before" clear stamp set. I used embossing ink to stamp it onto the paper, then I sprinkled on some embossing powder and used my heat gun to bring it to life. 

The final touch is the poinsettia flower, which is cut out using a poinsettia die and then I used a yellow brad to attach it to the front below the sentiment, along with a little snowflake embellishment above the sentiment.

This completes my card for this weeks challenge.
