Freshly Made Sketches #561

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by our wonderfully creative team member, Linda Callahan!

Take a look at her fab sketch:

The card I created features striped DSP from the Perfectly Penciled DSP pack. I always love a black and white striped DSP. Any colour that you add to it just pops!

The images I’ve added to my are from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set. The leaves have been coloured with my Smoky Slate Blends. The leafy stems have been coloured with the Highland Heather Blends. I always take a Color Lifter to take away some of the colour to create a lighter shade as I get more definition between the light and dark blends. All images were fussy cut out and layered over rectangles of Basic White Cardstock shaded with the Light Pool Party Blend.

Three Matte Dots were added in an off centre triangle. The sentiment diecut I have used was cut with the Sending Dies and I’ve heat embossed a sentiment from the matching Sending Smiles Stamp Set on Basic Black Cardstock.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome projects that will no doubt inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Freshly Made Sketches #555

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches to play along with. This weeks sketch designer is me! I’ve come up with the following sketch for you all.

My initial sketch pretty much had a shape in every corner, but I tamed it and left only two shapes. My card however, is filled with details.

I love the dramatic-ness of black, white and yellow together. My card was designed around the diecut sentiment. This die is from the Sending Dies. You can purchase the dies separately or as part of the Sending Smiles Bundle.

The flowers I’ve coloured up are from the Happiness Abound Stamp Set. Each of the flowers have been coloured with a combination of every yellow blend that I own and fussy cut out. The leaves that I have tucked under each of the blooms has been fussy cut from the Perfectly Penciled DSP.

The yellow DSP I’ve layered over the Basic Black Cardstock is from the Hues of Happiness DSP. The circle diecut notebook type paper is from the Abigail Rose DSP. I really have given my card a mix of DSPs, images and sentiments!

Hope you get a chance to play along with the sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
