Freshly Made Sketches #710

This has to be the earliest I've ever gotten a card made for Freshly Made Sketches but I'm on a deadline.  My daughter-in-law is coming tomorrow for help with a quilt she's making and then she, my daughter and I are going to the Pittsburgh Ballet on Saturday.  Christy's best friend's son is dancing in it and she thought it would make a great girls weekend.  


I bought the Winter Fun set from Waffle Flower two years ago, colored all the images with Altenew artist markers right away, made a card using two images last November and it's been on the shelf ever since.  I thought those darling kids would work perfectly for the sketch.  The edge of the rink was cut with a SSS Slopes die and lightly inked with Ice Spruce before adding a layer of Simon Hurley's Astropaste in Frostbite.  It really looks like ice and I wish it showed up in the photo.  The top portion was inked with Stormy Sky and the line where they meet was embossed with Puff powder to act as the snow pile along the edge of the rink.  The middle girl is popped up on foam tape so she doesn't run into her friend. 😁  The sentiment is from PB. 

Thanks for dropping by.
