Hey Everyone

Time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Karren Johnson

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I fussy cut some flowers from the Thankful Garden Stamp Set and coloured them up with my Wild Wheat Blends and added some Early Espresso to the centre to add some definition.

I paired the Wild Wheat with this Lost Lagoon DSP from the Everyday Happiness DSP pack. To tone down the colour combo I added some Basic White Cardstock leaves cut with a die from the Thankful Garden Dies.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created. You’re gonna love their cards!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is another awesome one. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented Cecile Ribon.

I thought it was time to create a man card for my stash. The Adventurous Sky Stamp Set was my set of choice. I got my colour on and shaded the plane and clouds with a mixture of blends.

I added a die cut to the background to mimic the splodgy bit on Cecile’s ribon. My splodge spread a bit further than Cecile’s sketch, but it’s kinda close….

Loved seeing what everyone created this week. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone

Tis time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week the designer of our sketch is one fabulous chick who I promise that one day I will meet. It needs to my on my warmer side of the world tho as it’s too cold all year around on her side. And there’s bears in Canada. They legit walk around everywhere in the streets! This weeks designer is Jen Brum – creator of lovely elegant cards.

I’ve gone with neutral colours for my card. These colours were chosen after my DSP choice. This DSP is from the Botanical Textures DSP pack. I’ve then added fussy cut stamped images from the Textured Notes Stamp Set. I then added some texture to the background with my new Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. Oh how I love a corrugated background!

The team have created wonderful projects using the sketch. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the fabulously talented Kim Singdahlsen.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I started with seashells with this card and ended switching it up and replacing shells with coral and a fish.

The coral I’ve added to my card has been created with a die from the Beauty of the Deep Dies. I then added a Blackberry Bliss Cardstock die cut from the Ocean Friends Dies. I then added some a fly and fish image from the Gone Fishing Stamp Set. To the fly, I added some gold twine and layered it over the coral.

The team have created wonderful projects using this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday and a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed the uber talented and super lovely Jennifer Timko.

Take a look at her sketch:

I adorned my cad with images and sentiments from more new stamp sets. The fllower and leaves images are from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set. I chose Wild Wheat colours for the flowers as I had used a speckled gold piece of DSP in the background. Wild Wheat reminds me of gold so that’s why I chose this pairing.

The sentiments are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. I love the combo of the larger sentiment combined with a smaller solid print font. Under the sentiment I chose a diecut to add detail to the layers.

I had a piece of ribbon sitting on my desk, so I pulled a strand on this piece and it gathered the ribbon. I adhered it down in it’s gathered form.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards using Jen’s sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Let’s see what our fab sketch designer Jacquie Southas at Freshly Made Sketches has created for us.

Got myself new goodies so I had to use them for my card.

I’ve used fussy cut florals from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper for my card. Having these gorgeous blooms already coloured and detailed makes it so easy to add to a card. I then stamped up the banners image from the Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set in Pecan Pie and added a fancy sentiment from the same stamp set.

We would love it if you could play along with our sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully creative Judy Rozema.

I received some new Stampin’ Up! goodies recently, so i just had to use them for my card. I’ve used stamps and dies from the Ocean Friends Stamp Set and matching Ocean Friends Dies. The colour combo I went with came from the designer series paper I added to my card. The DSP I’ve used is one of my favs as it has my favourite colours in it as well as woodgrain papers. I then starting die cutting and layering!

We’d love to see what you create. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone

It’s my turn to be the sketch designer at Freshly Made Sketches. Take a look at the sketch I threw together to you to play along with.

I almost stuck to my sketch…. I had an idea of what it was in my head and created a card, but maybe I should’ve had it in front of me as I am a tad off….

It’s Summer here and it’s been soooooo hot. With how hot it’s been, I decided to incorporate that summer beach feel with the images and dies from the Beach Day Stamp Set and matching dies. There’s a new set in town, due to Sale-A-Bration time, called Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set. I felt it was the perfect match for a beach-y card.

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

I never thought I would be a leafy lover, but it turns out, ii adore leafy stamp sets. The set i have used is called the Cjhanging Leaves Stamp Set. My colour scheme came from the strip of DSP I added to the background. This Pool Party strip is from the Country Woods DSP pack. I then carried over the tones to my leaves, diecuts and sentiment.

The team have created awesome cards to inspire you. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they have created with the sketch.

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday, so that means a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our challenge for you is to create a card using this fab sketch designed by the super talented Kim Singdahlsen.

I love a leafy Xmas card! I’ve used the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper for the strips in the background. I then layered diecuts from the Golden Greenery Dies. I used Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstock for my leafy colour. I then wanted to add a statement sentiment. This was created with the Wanted To Say Dies in Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstocks also.
