Freshly Made Sketches #755

 

 

Sketch #755 over at Freshly Made Sketches is by yours truly. 

It seems that I had Christmas on my mind and even though you may see a tree, 

the shape can be anything you wish.   

 

 

I went with a tree.

 

 I saw, but never bought, Pinkfresh Studio's Festive Foliage stencils and die when

it was first released. Well, I'm glad that I waited because I was able to grab both

at 50% off. I was hoping the order would arrive in time for the challenge,

and although I had a "plan B", I was thankful that it did.

 

I stenciled the tree and die cut the image. A green strip was adhered per the sketch

 and I popped up the tree on a card base embossed with tiny dots. I chose the word

 "joy"  for my sentiment and cut it out of shiny silver card stock. Small clear sequins 

finished off my card.

 

And for those inquiring minds, here's a glimpse at Plan B that I was going

to share if my PFS order didn't arrive in time. Still a tree.

 

So, to tree or not to tree? The choice is yours!

Hope to see you in our gallery! 

 

Freshly Made Sketches #754

 

 

 

Our Freshly Made Sketches teammie Judy brings us the most CAS sketch

 that I've seen in a while. It's fun, unique, and challenging in its simplicity.

 Here's Sketch #754. 

 

 

 

And here's what I came up with. 

  

 

I nearly sat on my hands trying not to add anything to the top half of the card

except for the sentiment. I chose some patterned paper and ran it through an

embossing folder for interest.

 

I adhered it to a top folding card base then stamped the sentiment. 

I added a strip of patterned paper and finished off with some pink sequins.

Freshly Made Sketches #753

 

Here we go with a new Freshly Made Sketches! Karren brings us Sketch #753

and it looks like this. 

 

Can you see the possibilities? Here's what I came up with, and if I'm just being

honest here, it's my third and final design.

 

 A large Gerbera daisy wouldn't come together for me so I went smaller

but it was too small. After going through my supplies, I spotted this ginormous

pumpkin which (I don't think) I've ever used before, so I went with it.

 

After die cutting the pumpkin and flowers, I inked them and borrowed some

greenery from Spellbinders. I used Altenew's piped waffle die and adhered 

everything over it. I finished off with a Waffle Flower sentiment.

 

Head on over to Freshly Made Sketches to see how the rest of the team

interpreted Karren's sketch and join us if you can. You have until  

Monday, September 14 at 3PM EST to link up your card.

 

 

Freshly Made Sketches #752

 

Are you ready for this week's Freshly Made Sketches? Here's #752 compliments

of our teammie Narelle.

 

 

And here's my take on her sketch.

 

  I chose a Papertrey Ink bird's nest and turned it into an autumnal wreath. 

I used icons from Waffle Flower and colored them then adhered them to the wreath. 

A card base was embossed with wooden planks and topped with a smaller frame.

The wreath was adhered per the sketch and finished off with the sentiment.
