Freshly Made Sketches #707

 

Freshly Made Sketches #707 is a sketch by Judy that had me stumped. 

I always panic with grids, and getting the pieces lined up.

 This isn't the first card I made using the sketch, but the one that I'm happiest with.

I used some papers from an old Moda Scrap pad and trimmed the pieces per 

the sketch. I ran the panel through a patchwork embossing folder and you 

probably can't tell but there was shrinkage so the card is smaller than A2 size.

I lightly inked around the circular piece so it would stand out a little. An Altenew

sentiment finished off the card.

Ok, off to link this up! Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #683

 

Jen T brings us Freshly Made Sketches #683, a sketch she designed to go "halfsies"

with a panel that allows for lots of creative options.

 

I found an old Moda Scrap paper pack and chose a sheet of florals and one with a 

watercolor wash. I cut them per the sketch and ran the left panel through an embossing 

folder then went over the surface with a sanding block to make the sentiments stand out.

I spattered gold paint over both panels and decided it looked a little too plain so I 

reached for Pinkfresh Studio's Fluttering Butterflies washi tape and found a pink 

one that was pretty close in color to the paper. 

The butterfly and branch were adhered to the card base and I called it done.

 

I'm really liking Altenew's new 3D embossing folders which saved me the trouble of 

choosing a sentiment, then worrying about its placement.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
