Freshly Made Sketches #728


It's time for another Freshly Made Sketches and Narelle brings us Sketch #728.


Pucker up, because I saw citrus slices for my card design. I assembled
several and even sliced one in half. 



 I know I've paired it with the citrus slices before, but I really like the texture 
from this SSS embossing folder and how it goes well with any fruit. I assembled
 the slices per the sketch and tucked in some leftover greenery.

The sentiment strip was cut from pale aqua card stock, doubled up, and backed 
with gold card stock for added shine.

Freshly Made Sketches #727


It's Michele's turn to grace us with a sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #727
and it's a good one! Check it out.


So many possibilities, right? As always, I had a completely different idea in mind from
when I started and decided to go "cute" which doesn't happen too often 'round here.
I was inspired by Michele's card and her bunny theme.


I discovered a SSS bunny die from an older release and assembled her with a scarf 
and added an egg between her paws. I used an arch die and inked two colors on it 
and spattered it with water. 

A panel was embossed with an embossing folder and the arch was adhered over it. 
I added the bunny and some greenery per the sketch and topped it with a 
woodgrain frame. I finished off the card with a Waffle Flower sentiment and

Freshly Made Sketches #726


Freshly Made Sketches #726 is brought to us by our teammie Karren.


I love tags and while searching for an elusive tag die, I opted for a postage die.


 I found a ready made stamp from a previous card and stamped the postage marks
 on it. A panel of gray card stock was embossed and adhered to a card base. A strip
 of patterned paper with colors that matched the stamp design was adhered to
the card and the stamp was popped up over it.

and we hope you'll join us!
