Freshly Made Sketches #684

Hey Everyone

There is a new challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the fabulously talent Jen Mitchell. Take a look at the fab sketch she has created:

I’ve had to replenish birthday cards in my stash as I’ve had birthdays galore lately. The card I created features a few products from different sets. The daisies are from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set, the stamped and fussy cut leaves are from the Textured Notes Stamp Set and the diecut leaves are from the Thankful Garden Dies.

I added a strip of DSP from the Season of Gold Designer Series Paper pack. I love the diversity of the papers as they are not only designed for Christmas.

I then added a seam binding bow in Fresh Freesia that I had sitting on my desk.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink #662

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday here in Australia, so that means we have a new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with.

I really wanted to use these pretty paper from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper pack. This paper was the starting point to my card. From there I decided to keep my card with a mostly blue colour scheme. I added tinges of Smoky Slate Ink in the leaves I’ve stamped and tucked under the daisies. Or maybe they’re a new breed of flowers as I don’t think there are any blue daisies…

These blue flowers are from the Delightful Daisies Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento Ink and coloured the petals with my blue blends. I took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and added colour to the centre of the flowers.

I shaded the background beneath the flowers with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink. I then added some die cut leaves. These leaves are from the Textured Floral Dies.

As always, the team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to the challenge and check out their creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
