Freshly Made Shaker

I'm marching onward to getting my Christmas card stash built up and knew this corner collage design for  the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge would be a perfect sketch to use!  I used two of my fave distress inks - Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron - to smoosh on the background.  I then added an Early Espresso circle shaker element and layered a metallic gold banner flag and the tree die by Reverse Confetti.  Did you notice those tiny cross stitch dies?  I couldn't resist these fun stitched details and recently ordered the Stitched die set from Paper Smooches. This card is also for the Ways To Use It challenge on SCS to use any gold mediums.  I LOVE touches of gold...especially with holiday cards!

An oily side note...

Thought I'd share another diffuser blend of essential oils that will make your house smell so yummy.  Bonus is that it includes Thieves EO which is such a great oil to build up your immune system.  Have a great day...it's a blissfully warm day here in VA and I'm off work...yay!
