Hey Everyone
It’s new sketch challenge time at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Jen Brum – even though we’ve never met, I reckon we’d be the best of friends if she decided to move to my side of the world and learned how to scooch to be my height….
I’m trying to revisit stamp sets that I haven’t used in a while – just to make sure I get my use out of them.The Tasteful Touches Stamp Set got a bit of a workout for todays card. So did my fussy cutting skills.
The flowers have been coloured with a combination of Mango Melody and So Saffron Blends. I added the Dark Mango Melody Blend to the centre of the flowers and to add depth to the petals. The leaves were given a very quick colour with the Light Soft Succulent Blend.
The stripe-y DSP I’ve added to the background is from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Pack. It was chosen because of So Saffron and Basic White stripe. I added thin strip of Basic Black to the edge of the DSP just to make the flower pop.
The card base was given some detail with a Blending Brush and some So Saffron Ink. Three Gold Metallic Pearls were added for that bit of bling.
The girls at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful cards with Jen’s sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers

Oh, I’m pretty sure we’d have a blast together!!!! I love this card! Those flowers are so gorgeous! The background is just so stunning as well! Your cards never cease to amaze me!
That little splash of yellow in the background makes all the difference! This is beautiful!
What a beautiful card!! I love the yellow blooms and your shading of the ink in back. You inspired me to make a double border on the card I created for this challenge. Lovely design!
Such a beautiful and feminine card! Love the buttery soft yellows!
