Freshly Made Sketches #417

It's the first sketch of the year at Freshly Made Sketches! I am honored to be hosting this week with a sketch with classic lines and a lot of room for creativity!


I have had this stamp set from Technique Tuesday for quite awhile, but had never inked it up. It's called Barberry. I found it when I did a major organization overhaul of my stamp room last weekend, and thought it would be perfect for a sympathy card I needed. A friend's mother passed away suddenly the week before Christmas, so I was keeping a little of that seasonal look with this design. 

I colored using Copic markers, and used the Falling Snow embossing folder from Stampin' Up for my background.
I hope you will join us with your take on my sketch this week! Our challenge is open until 3 PM EST on Monday, January 13. Click on the links on the FMS blog by each photo to see what lovely things my teammates have created on their blogs!
