Hi! Today's card uses the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches where our designer this week is Jacquie Southas. I had great intentions of using the pinwheel set from The Greetery for my card, but it wasn't working out, so I decided to flip the sketch upside down and came up with this card.
I bought this die set last year when it was released and this is the first time I've used it. I've come to the conclusion that I prefer die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock and adding colour - this time with Copics. I created the various elements and arranged them on a panel of white cardstock die-cut with a snow drift die. Once that was completed, I stamped a sentiment and then set it aside to work on the card base.
I placed a moon mask onto the card base and ink-blended various distress inks on the card. Once that was finished I flicked on some white paint and put it aside to dry.
Once it was all dry, I added the buildings with foam tape and called it done.
Thanks so much for visiting. Please check out how the rest of the design team used the sketch.

What a lovely winter scene, Karren! It's so peaceful!
This is amazing, Karren! I might have squealed with delight when I first your fabulous take on the sketch.
A stunning scene Karren. I'm absolutely gorgeous
Love the way you used the sketch - that was inspired to flip it and then use the die cut buildings to 'interpret' the points! A wonderful result

I always imagine myself living in these wonderful village scenes! today I imagine crafting my days away tucked away in the peak of that little cottage on the right! I'm packing my supplies!

This card is gorgeous Karren! That village is so realistic! I love the sweet buildings but that night sky is incredible! Great idea cutting it all from white and then colouring it! Saves a whole lot of time!
Gorgeous village scene! The houses are beautiful! I would love to live here! And oh that sky.....
