Freshly Made Sketches #683

 
Jen T brings us Freshly Made Sketches #683, a sketch she designed to go "halfsies"
with a panel that allows for lots of creative options.
 


I found an old Moda Scrap paper pack and chose a sheet of florals and one with a 
watercolor wash. I cut them per the sketch and ran the left panel through an embossing 
folder then went over the surface with a sanding block to make the sentiments stand out.

I spattered gold paint over both panels and decided it looked a little too plain so I 
reached for Pinkfresh Studio's Fluttering Butterflies washi tape and found a pink 
one that was pretty close in color to the paper. 


The butterfly and branch were adhered to the card base and I called it done.
 
I'm really liking Altenew's new 3D embossing folders which saved me the trouble of 
choosing a sentiment, then worrying about its placement.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Edited to add: Honored that my card was a  Princess pick! Thanks so much, Jen B
and to the gals at Freshly Made Sketches!

  1. OH! my goodness, Donna! I adore your papers and colors - but it's that added 'extra' of embossing that takes this one over the top gorgeous! We are so lucky to have you playing cards with us again at FMS, my friend!
