Freshly Made Sketches #745

 

Jen T is this week's sketch designer for Freshly Made Sketches #745 and 

here's what she designed for us. 

 

 

 

It's been a while since I made a square card and I was looking forward to working

with Jen's sketch. Here's what I came up with.

  

I used Concord & 9th's Just Picked dies after seeing Michele use them on a card and I

didn't realize that I already owned the set because I was so focused on the vases and 

didn't notice the prickly bloom. 

 

I colored two of the blooms and a bud and assembled them on a scalloped

square (from MFT which is no longer in business). A square was cut from gray

card stock and run through an embossing folder then adhered to a card base.

I adhered the scalloped square and finished off with the Altenew sentiment.

Jen's sketch and we hope you'll play along with us. The deadline to link up

your card is Monday, July 20th at 3PM EST.

 

 

Freshly Made Sketches #744

 

I'm the sketch designer for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #744 and it 

looks like this,

A card kit from Gina K Designs arrived with an assortment of Polaroid frames

that sparked the idea for my card sketch.  

 

Alex Syberia's Floral Splendor Cover Die was cut and inked in summery colors. 

After die cutting a Polaroid frame, I placed the floral piece behind it and backed it with 

a colored card stock piece in a soft shade of blue. I stamped a sentiment on the frame 

and adhered it to an embossed card base then tucked in a few flowers following the sketch.

 

Keep in mind that you don't have to use a Polaroid frame as presented but I'd love

to see what you place inside one if you choose to do so. It's your choice! 

 

And if you would like to use a Polaroid frame on your card but don't own a die, here's a

quick tutorial from Mary Fish of stampin' pretty that will have you cranking out a bunch

of frames just by using nesting dies.  

 

Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see what the rest of the team came up with and join us

if you can. The deadline for linking up is Monday, July 13th at 3PM EST.

 We hope to see you in the gallery!

 

   

Freshly Made Sketches #743

 

It's Wednesday, time for another Freshly Made Sketches. Our teammie Judy 

brings us Sketch #743 which had me stumped when I first saw it.

 

 

Thankfully, a new set of Simon Hurley's cone flowers arrived and sealed the deal.
 

Three cone flowers and leaves were cut from white card stock and inked. A strip 

of card stock was embossed with a dot folder and adhered to a card base. A sentiment

was white embossed on a green circle and adhered over the flowers and leaves.

 

Now it's your turn! We'd love to see how you interpret Judy's sketch so come and

join us! Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see projects from the rest of the team, too.

The deadline for linking up is Monday, July 6th at 3PM EST.
