Posted on by

Hey Everyone

It’s time for the 699th challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. That’s alot of sketch challenges! Make sure you come back next week for our big 700th sketch! For this weeks challenge our designer is one fabulous card maker – Verena Shapiro. Take a look at her sketch:

I combined Pool Party and Pecan Pie for this card, plus a piece of stripey Smoky Slate DSP in the background,

For the circle component, I fussy cut some organic circles and stamped the Basic White Cardstock with a script stamp from Elements of Text Stamp Set. The gorgeous flowers and leaves images are from the Charming Day Stamp Set. I added colour to the leaves and flowers with Crumb Cake and Pool Party Blends. I then cut some Pecan Pie Cardstock leafy diecuts made with the Charming Day Dies.

I love what the team have created with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they design team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink #762

Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge for you over at Just Add Ink. This week is an inspiration picture challenge. Take a look at the challenge we have for you to play along with:

I initially thought I’d go with coffee images, but changed it up and decided to take the colours from the inspiration pic and add them to my card.

I kept my tones very earthy. I’ve used a mixture of DSP from the Country Lace and Country Woods DSP packs. I then added some background script stamping, from the Elements of Text Stamp Set and added some shading with Crumb Cake Ink to this.

The flowers I’ve used are from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set. I love the size of this image as it fills up a card so easily. I added some retired Natural Wavy Trim and pulled it apart to create a messiness to it.

The team at Just Add Ink have all created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #695

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday, so that means a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented and super fab Jen Timko.

Don’t you just love a great sketch? I instantly knew i wanted to use the Notes and Totes Dies to be the focal point on my card. To the tote bag I’ve created, I added some of my favourite images from the retired Dressed to Impress Stamp Set as they work so well with the tote bag. The background oval shape was hand cut and stamped with Elements of Text Stamp Set – just for an extra bit of detail.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.
