Freshly Made Sketches #614

Hey Everyone

Welcome to our newest sketch for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is our fabulous friend and even more fabulous walker Jennifer Brum. Take a look at her really cool sketch filled with circles!

I saw this sketch and thought who is this Jen and what has overcome her with sooooo many circles? She originally started off as not a fan of circle and this sketch doesn’t have a few circles, it has 100 circles!

I decided to replicate the background (sort of) by taking some circle dies and tracing around the centre of them, They felt a little clean, so I took a Watercolor Pencil and added shading to each of them,

I then stamped up some butterflies from the Night of Flight Stamp Set. These butterflies were coloured with all of my yellow blends an fussy cut out. I then stamped up some leaves from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set and they were also fussy cut out.

The background got a little ink flicked over the circles and some strips of cardstock were added under the sentiment.

The design team have created awesome cards with her sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #674

Hey Everyone

Our latest challenge at Just Add Ink, is for you to create a project using the following colours:

I didn’t know how much I would love this colour combo until i started creating my card. Usually when I have 4 colours that I don’t know how to combine, i keep a mostly white card and add touches of the colours. But this time, I found it really easy to layer/combine these colours.

I think the Night of Flight Stamp Set and the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set/Dies were made for each other. I stamped my butterflies with Black Memento Ink and coloured the butterflies with a combination of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock Blends. I then took the retired White Gel Pen and added highlights on my butterflies. They were then fussy cut out.

I took a piece of Basic White Cardstock and diecut the edge of it with the book edge die. To this piece, I then placed it on my trimmer and scored lines into the cardstock. I then took the Light Basic Blend and flicked ink on to it from the Light Basic Black Blend.

I embossed the Pretty Peacock Cardstock to add more texture and roughed up all the edges of each piece of cardstock to give a vintage-y feel.

To add gold to my card, I took a leafy die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and cut two of them. To create length to my gold foil leaf, I cut two of them and joined them together. The join of them has been hidden by the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #602

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Kim Singdahlsen. Kim’s creation are always amazing and I love her attention to detail.

My card features butterflies from the Night of Flight Stamp Set. I am loving these butterflies as they are perfect for colouring and seem to be my go-to at the moment for layering on cards. I just love their artwork!

I’ve given them colour with my Tahitian Tide and Smoky Slate Blends. I then fussy cut them out. I had some leafy diecuts sitting on my desk, so I decided to add them to the card. The set these diecuts are from is called Textured Floral Dies.

I diecut the edge of a piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock with the notebook edge die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and added it under the Basic White Cardstock. On this cardstock I stamped the script stamp from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set. I added an embossed piece of Pebbled Pathy Cardstock and an offcut piece of Basic Black Cardstock.

An embossed sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock was added as well as some Simply Elegant Trim and some Basic Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #408

Hey Everyone

Tonights card has been made for this weeks challenge at Global Design Project. This week is a CASE the Designer week. This week the card we got to CASE is this gorgeous card by Emma Goddard.

This s probably a different card for me as I’ve stamped butterflies directly to the background, watercoloured them lightly and then watercoloured around them. The butterflies I’ve stamped are from the Night of Flight Stamp Set.

The sentiment I’ve added to my card is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. I also added a pre-cut leaf made with the Gorgeously Made Dies. I then coloured some Linen Thread with Fresh Freesia Ink and added it under my sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.
