Freshly Made Sketches #727

Hey Everyone

The newest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches is here. This weeks hostess is the super talented Michele Ferguson. Here’s her fab sketch:

I went floral. Whenever I don’t have a need for a special themed card, I resort to a floral card as it’s easy and because I love them! The fabulous flowers I’ve coloured and added to my card are from the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set. I added some DSP in the background. This DSP is from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper pack. I am coming to the end of this pack…

The team at Freshly Made Sketches has created wonderful cards that will no doubt inspire you, so make sure you head over and check out their cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Freshly Made Sketches #724

Hey Everyone

It’s already Wednesday again so that means it’s times for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is my Canadian walker friend Jennifer Brum. Jen creates gorgeous cards that are just as awesome as her sketches!

I went florals. Mainly because the flower images kinda matched the circles on Jen’s sketch. Circles ,who by the way, Jen used to not love on sketches….The flowers I’ve stamped up and coloured in are from the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set. I let the flowers shine on the card and only gave the background a tad of background stamping and shading to the white cardstock. The stamping was created with a script stamp from the Element of Text Stamp Set. You can slightly see the script peaking on each side of the images.

Here’s the card that I created using her sketch:

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome inspiration for you. Make sure yo head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

There is a new sketch challenge for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Jen Mitchell.

The card i have created features blooms from the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set, because you know I have to have a flower stamp set that i can colour. I’ve used all of my yellow blends for these flowers and my Old Olive Blends for the leaves and fussy cut them all out. For a little extra detail, I die cut some leaves in Old Olive Cardstock witth the Natures Symphony Dies and added them to my card. I created a black and white faux DSP strip by cutting black and white strips of cardstock and adhered them on an offcut strip of cardstock and layered it on the card base. The card base was stamped with ones of the ink splatters stamp from the Gears and Textures Stamp Set. By adding these splatters, I think it softens the background a little with all that white space.

The team have created awesome inspiration for you. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

We have a new sketch for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the fabulously talented Judy Rozema.

I have stamped up the flowers and leaves from the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set and only coloured the leaves with my blends. For the flowers I only flicked ink onto the flowers and fussy cut them out. I took inspiration from the Lovely Blossoms DSP fas he flowers on the papers were left uncoloured and I liked this effect. The DSP I’ve used in the background is also from this pack.

The team have created awesome projects that will inspire you. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks
