Freshly Made Sketches #601

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

Welcome to our newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Linda Callahan.

The card I created features a shaded background and blue butterflies. The butterflies are coloured with my blue blends and fussy cut out. These butterflies are from the Night of Flight Stamp Set. I’ve nestled them on diecuts leaves from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I then heat embossed a sentiment on Misty Moonlight Cardstock.I added a diecut trim that was laying on my desk to the mix also. The papers I’ve added to the card are from from Countryside Inn DSP pack.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Hey Everyone

It’s a celebration at Freshly Made Sketches this week as we are celebrating our 600th challenge! 600 challenges is an incredible amount of fabulous sketches and I’m really proud to be part of this amazing team. Participating in this challenge are many of our previous challenge winners – ready to wow you with their creations.

Here’s our sketch for you to play along with.

The card I created is of course a celebration card using the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set and matching Beautiful Balloons Dies.

The colours I’ve chosen for this card are Pebbled Path, Lemon Lolly and Wild Wheat – a completely new combo that I thought I would give a try. Gotta say I really like this combo together.

We hope you can play along with our birthday sketch. Head over to the challenge and see what our team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Global Design Project is a themed challenge. See their inspiration pic below:

My water creatures that I’ve added to my card are crab and shell images from the Stamp Set. I’ve coloured both images with my blends and fussy cut them out. I added a coral diecut made with Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. The reason for this is because it’s not a bright white and therefore contrasted against white the cardstock. Leafy stems were added as well as Linen Thread coloured with the Bronze Blend.

Thanks for stopping by.

From the inspiration pic, I took the colours as well as flight. I took the following colours – turquoise, pink, black and white.

TGIF Challenge #433

Hey Everyone

Made a card on the weekend and only just remembered I forgot to upload it! This card has been made for the TGIF Challenge. This week is their sketch challenge week.

The card I created features images from the Beauty of the Deep Stamp Set. I added a coral stamp to the background and flicks with the Dark Basic Black Blend. I then added some leaves that had been discarded from another project. The anchor I added was also sitting in my discarded images. Some twine was added as well as a stamped sentiment from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #664

Hey Everyone

Who’s ready for a new colour challenge at Just Add Ink? Myself and the Design Team are!

This week our colours for you to create with are:

Can you believe this card started off quite plain? It then grew in to this…lotsa layers and details.

The stamp set I’ve used is called Hello Ladybug. It had been neglected so I decided to give it the ink love and came up with this.

I used two embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. I added diecuts cut with the Countryside Corners Dies. I’ve layered these dies with images stamped from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set. Because you can never have too many details, I added some flowers from the same stamp set.

The team have created awesome cards using these colours. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
