Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch challenge to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully super talented Jennifer Timko.

I am loving a leaf or two at the moment. The leaves I added to my card have been created with Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and the following ink colours: Cajun Craze, Granny Apple Green and Crushed Curry. I added these colours to the paper in random places, waited for the paper to dry and then diecut the leaves out with the Autumn Leaves Dies.

There’s a die in this set that creates tiny dotted strips. I diecut the background cardstock three times with this die to emulate the strips in the sketch. I then set about shading and ink flicking the background. Once I was happy with the background, I placed the leaves on Dimensionals and added some diecut branches.

The sentiment I have used is from the matching stamp set to the dies. It’s called Autumn Leaves Stamp Set. These sentiments are all seperate but I liked them grouped together to say everything I want to say to a friend.

Finally, i added some ribbon from the Copper and Natural Ribbon Combo Pack. I’ve used the copper ribbon and kind of looped it around so it’s not really in a bow. It’s probs a little hard to see as it blends with the leaves.

The team have created awesome cards that will no doubt inspire you. Make sure you head to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
