Freshly Made Sketches #386

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch for you to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess has been designed by the incredibly talented Jacquie Southas.

Here’s this weeks fab sketch:

I chose Jacquie’s sketch to use some of this gorgeous DSP from the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper pack. This pack is ultra pretty with elegant touches of foil throughout each of the papers – maybe that’s why it named Simply Elegant….

I added leaf die cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies. I then cut the die cut sentiment from the Always Dies and combined it with a stamped sentiment from the Forever & Always Stamp Set. I heat embossed this sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock.

To tie in the gold foil from the DSP, I punched some Gold Foil circles with various Circle Punches and rolled them into flowers. I used Tombow to adhere them to the card.

Here’s what I created:

The clean team at Freshly Made Sketch have created gorgeous cards that will inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink Challenge #169

Hey Everyone

Delys has found a beautiful photo for this weeks inspiration challenge at Just Add Ink. Have a look at these gorgeous colours in the photo:

A few of the girls from the Design Team have gone for very creative backgrounds on their cards, so I decided to give it a go too.  I found this gorgeous card on Pinterest and loved the effect the technique gave to the background.  I took inspiration from the three silhouettes in the photo and added three black banners with a black rolled rose, black buttons and black leaves.  I sponged Midnight Muse and Melon Mambo onto my card, but looking at it now the colours aren’t as vibrant as the inspiration photo.

Anyway, here’s my card:
