Freshly Made Sketches #653

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #653!

I was so excited to see Clean Team Designer, Kim Singdahlsen's fabulous sketch this week! As the owner of far too many oversized sentiment stamps and dies, the biggest challenge was deciding which one to use.

It wasn't long before a sentiment from Mama Elephant Peace on Earth stamp set made it to the top of my pile.

Layers of pink ink are painted, splattered and blotted on a piece of watercolor paper before the sentiment is stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger gold embossing powder. A scatter of sequins adds a bit more "bright" to the design.

The finished panel is mounted on gold cardstock and popped up on the card base.

I hope you check out the amazing Clean Team designs and play along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Freshly Made Sketches #652

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #652!

What a fun sketch Clean Team Designer, Linda Callahan, has given us this week! I had no shortage of ideas, but did have a shortage of time which ruled out a couple options. 

A favorite older Memory Box Sussex Snowflake die provided the circular element and is layered with a Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings sentiment white embossed on vellum. Glitter and soft texture are provided by a strip of Lawn Fawn Pixie Dust paper and the soft aqua fiber. 

I hope you check out the fabulous Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
