Hey Everyone

Newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is here for you to play along with. This week Judy Rozema is our sketch hostess. Take a look at her fabulous creations on her blog by clicking here:

I coloured up some bird images from the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set and layered them over an oval diecut made with Country Woods DSP. I then stamped up some leaves from the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and fussy cut them out. I added some discarded diecuts leaves, made with the Golden Greenery Dies, just because I had them sitting there and they worked well with the colour combo I was going for.

The team have created wonderful cards that will inspire you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess for this weeks challenge is Jen Mitchell. I just love her sketch as much as I love her creations.

It’s definitely beginning to look like Christmas with this card. These tree images and sentiment are from Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set. I love fussy cutting and felt they would look good fussy cut out and raised up with Dimensionals. I’ve stamped them in a combination of Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate. The background was given a winter-y feel by stamping the ink splatters/snow like stamp from the same stamp set. I then took a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink and shaded the Basic White Cardstock. To tie it all together I took a piece of DSP from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper pack and added this to my card. Bling is a must, so I added some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. Finally a sentiment was added, also from the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set.

The team have created gorgeous projects with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by Amy O’Neill. Amy’s creations are always fantastic and full of fab colours.

When you’re time poor, you can’t go past Stampin’ Up!s fabulous designer series papers. I love that they have perfectly coloured images ready to be fussy cut out. This week I have chosen some new to me DSP called Nest of Winter DSP.

I fussy these images out and fussy cut some extra foliage to fill the space on my .card The DSP i”ve used under my images is also from the same pack.

Alli really had to do then was add a diecut and a sentiment. Oh and some shading to the background – coz i love me a bit of shading.

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

Hey Everyone

Time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Karren Johnson – who is not too far from me – New Zealand. Not far if you count a plane ride and a passport…. Karren’s creations are gorgeously detailed and full of amazingness.

I had these coloured flower images, from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set, sitting on my desk. Thought it was time to add them to a card. I took some paper from the Coujntry Woods DSP pack and cit it into pieces to match the sketch.

I then layered the images with die cuts from the Golden Greenery Dies to give a fullness to the layers.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Tis time for a new sketch challenge at Freslhly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is our very crafty friend Jennifer Brum. I love everything about her card as much as her sketch.

I think this is my first festive card for this year. Thought it was about time to get started. I’ve used a combination of things from the Season of Green and Gold Suite – Season of Green and Gold DSP,, Golden Greenery Dies and Greetings of the Season Bundle. I’ve added texture by embossing the background cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful cards for you to be inspired by. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to the newest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Karren Johnson who is the creator of all things gorgeous.

I am still loving the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set….. I can’t help but want to reach it for it every time I want to create atm…

I’ve combined the following colours for this card – Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. The squares I’ve added are from a discarded piece of cardstock that i had laying on my desk. This piece was embossed with the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder that was shaded with Pool Party Ink to make the embossed areas stand out.

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