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.

 

Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see how the rest of the team interpreted

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 #700

 

It's a celebration over at Freshly Made Sketches as they've reached their milestone

700th challenge in 14 years! I just had to make some time to join the fun.

 

 A super fun sketch, right? Visit Freshly Made Sketches and be inspired by their

design team and take a look back at each past and present member's first project.

Here's how I was inspired.

Spellbinders' Sunflower Die just arrived a few days ago after being OOS for quite

sometime. I die cut several layers from light yellow card stock and inked them

to create multi colored sunflowers. 

I cut a square card base from cream colored card stock and ran the front through

an embossing folder. I wanted to frame the flowers so I cut MFT's Square Frame

then placed the flowers inside.

I added the single leaf, following the sketch, and chose a long script sentiment

to finish off the card.

 

Happy 700th, Freshly Made Sketches! Thanks for all the fun and inspiration

you bring week after week and here's to #800!

Queen of Clean for the 700th Sketch! Thank you so much, Freshly Made Sketches!
