Freshly Made Sketches #568

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday and another sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Judy Rozema.

I do have 3 squares under my layers, but you can’t quite see them with how I’ve arranged all my leaves and flowers!

The flowers and leafy images are from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. The flower petals have been stamped in Crushed Curry and Gorgeous Grape Inks. The centre of the flowers have been inked up with So Saffron Ink. The stems and leaf images were stamped with Granny Apple Green and cut out with the matching die from the Sending Dies.

The Basic White Cardstock behind the flowers was shaded with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. On this piece of cardstock, I added the 3 diecut DSP squares cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. The DSP pack I’ve cut the squares from is my fav atm – it called Dandy Design Designer Series Paper pack.

The diecut sentiment has also been cut with the Sending Dies and I’ve paired this with an inked sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. One Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot adorns my card.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Love a sketch challenge! I played along with the latest challenge at Global Design Project.

The Fond Of Autumn Stamp Set got a work out on my card today. After colouring the images, I trimmed the acorn/leaf image in half so that I could better layer it around my sentiment. The flower images were then placed around the leaves.

I wanted a die cut sentiment that was the focus on my card, so I reached for the Sending Smiles Bundle.

The background of my card was given colour with Crumb Cake Ink and a Blending Brush. I then created a mask on each side of the blending and flicked the Dark Soft Suede Blends nib against the lid to add splatters.

Here’s the card I created:

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches to play along with. Our sketch hostess this week is the wonderfully talented Kim Singdahlsen.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I completely messed up this week and created a card for next week instead! I had to scramble and create a last minute card for the correct sketch. But it means I’m ahead for next week with my card already made!

The stamp set I chose to ink up for my card was the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I also used dies from the Sending Dies. My flowers have been inked up in Pool Party, Highland Heather and Crushed Curry Inks. The leaves have been stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink. All images have been fussy cut out and raised up with Dimensionals.

The Basic White Cardstock that my images were adhered to was flicked with Pool Party Ink from the Dark Pool Party Blend. I also shaded part of the card under the flowers to soften the white cardstock.

I cut out the die cut sentiment and layered it over the stamped sentiment. Both of these are placed over a piece of Basic White and Pool Party Cardstock diecuts – also cut with the Sending Dies.

Three Basic Rhinestones and a Brushed Brass Butterfly was added for the bling-y feel I like to add to my cards.

As always, the team have created awesome cards that will no doubt inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by our wonderfully creative team member, Linda Callahan!

Take a look at her fab sketch:

The card I created features striped DSP from the Perfectly Penciled DSP pack. I always love a black and white striped DSP. Any colour that you add to it just pops!

The images I’ve added to my are from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set. The leaves have been coloured with my Smoky Slate Blends. The leafy stems have been coloured with the Highland Heather Blends. I always take a Color Lifter to take away some of the colour to create a lighter shade as I get more definition between the light and dark blends. All images were fussy cut out and layered over rectangles of Basic White Cardstock shaded with the Light Pool Party Blend.

Three Matte Dots were added in an off centre triangle. The sentiment diecut I have used was cut with the Sending Dies and I’ve heat embossed a sentiment from the matching Sending Smiles Stamp Set on Basic Black Cardstock.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome projects that will no doubt inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

I had a play in my craft room this afternoon and created a card to play along with the latest challenge at Global Design Project Challenge.

Their challenge this week is a CASE challenge. They’ve given us the challenge to cASE the following gorge card from Madeleine Mrotzek.

I absolutely adore her card! For my take on her card, I combined images and dies from the Sending Smiles Bundle. I’ve inked up flowers in the rainbow of colours and cut them out. I then inked up the stems and fussy cut them out also.

The diecut sentiment was already cut out and sitting on my desk. However, I lost the dot so instead of cutting up another one, I added a matt dot to add to the “I”. I chose a stamped sentiment that combines perfectly with the diecut and adhered them down.

To finish off my card, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies to dance amongst the flowers.

Here’s my card:

Thanks for stopping by.
