Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #651!
Our super talented Clean Team leader, Jen Timko, is behind the fun asymmetrical sketch this week! I went through so many ideas and thought I'd settled on feathers and a sympathy card, when I came across the Papertrey Ink Leaf Silhouette dies (yup, I tag and use them as feathers as well as leaves) and switched to a masculine leaning birthday card.
The large die is cut several times to give me options for color blocking the finished leaf. An older PTI Birthday Bash sentiment is stamped on a piece of patterned paper, die cut and inked to blend better with the other colors. The design didn't feel finished until a few stitched leaves leftover from another project were layered under the large focal point leaf.
I hope you check out the fabulous Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
I'm linking this card to Seize the Birthday #290 challenge in the Anything Goes category.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
