Freshly Made Sketches #749

 

This week our teammie Jen B brings us Freshly Made Sketches #749.

 

 

Here's my take on her sketch.

 

I know exactly what you're screaming....."PINK PUMPKINS??"

This is when I tell you that these are the fifth batch of pumpkins I colored 

today and I don't know why I threw in a pink one. For shock value?

 

After coloring each of the pumpkins I ran them through embossing folders

because I thought they looked a little flat. And now they look like pin cushions.

 

For the diagonal element I ran a strip of white card stock through an embossing

folder with sentiments. I was going to leave the card without a sentiment but decided 

at the last minute to run a strip of gray card stock through the same sentiment folder 

and trimmed one out. 

 

Now it's your turn. Play along if you can and stop by the Freshly Made Sketches 

blog to see how the rest of the team interpreted Jen's sketch. You have until Monday,

August 17th to link up your card. Hope to see you in the gallery!

 

 

Freshly Made Sketches #748

 

Our teammie Verena brings us Freshly Made Sketches #748 and it looks like this.

 

 

Herewith is my loose interpretation of the sketch. I'm not sure why, but I mentally

struggled with this user friendly sketch. 

For the background I embossed a panel wih a Sizzix 3D folder. I chose a 

Feathered Friend from PTI and didn't add his legs so he could perch on

the branch. I added the blooms and finished off with the sentiment.

Can you see the sketch? I hope so! Remember you can always use whatever 

shape elements you wish. I'm sure you all have better ideas than me!

 

If so, come and join the challenge! Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see how the 

rest of the team worked Verena's sketch and play along. You have until Monday,

August 10th at 3PM EST to link up your card.
