Hey Everyone

Been ages since I’ve created for Freshly Made Sketches and I have to say I have missed it! I have been hanging to get back it in crafting and my fussy cutting. My fussy cutting skills got a work out with this card to test if I could still do it after my injury. Pleased to say I’m back on the scissors with a vengeance!

This week our sketch has been designed by the ultra talented Jacquie Southas!

The stamp I’ve used on my card is perfect for my scissor-work. This set is called Friendly Hello and has a wonderful mix of images to colour. I’ve given the bird some colour with my Pool Party and Bermuda Bay bends. The flowers I’ve added have been coloured with the Fresh Freesia and Smoky Slate Blends. The Smoky Slate was added around the centre of the flower to give it depth.

The leaves I’ve added were stamped in Bermuda Bay Ink. These leaves were fussy cut out and layered behind my bird image. I’ve also stamped up some little leaf-y stems in Gorgeous Grape Ink and fussy cut them out.

To add some interest to the background of the Thick Whisper White Cardstock, I shaded the cardstock with some Pool Party Ink and the ink splatters stamp from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set.

All of the images were layered on three strips of DSP and adhered to the cardstock base.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
