I went way off course with Freshly Made Sketches #688. I blame my time on
the CAS(E) this Sketch design team for that. Often times I'd squint at the sketch
and then have an "ah-ha!" moment.
Here's this week's sketch, courtesy of Jen B.
And here's my take on it. I must have had graduation and lei on my mind although
there are no graduates that we know of this year.
I ran a gray panel through a Spellbinder's embossing folder and it them per the sketch.
The flowers from a Stamp Market Cover Die were inked lightly in pastel colors and my first
thought was to adhere them to an oval shape but in the end I went rogue and just adhered
them to the card.
A CZ Design sentiment was cut from white card stock and adhered to a vellum shadow
before being adhered to the card. I'm forever grateful to the inventor of vellum. Being
able to adhere a word sentiment and still have that transparency makes me so happy.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

You always get such beautiful, smooth inking on your flowers, Donna! What a beautiful mix of colors that looks so pretty on the embossed background. No oval needed beneath them.
