Freshly Made Sketches #662

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #662!

Our talented challenge leader, Jen Timko, has given us a fun landscape sketch to work with this week. I've been sorting and purging in the office and came across a set of die cuts made when crafting with a friend a couple years ago. Yes, you read that right, and they immediately went on my desk in the "use these" pile. I knew as soon as I saw the landscape orientation one of these Middle Eastern cityscape die cuts would be perfect.

A panel is inked with shades of blue and the Mama Elephant Merry Christmas Wishes sentiment and Poppystamps Believe stars are heat embossed in gold before adding the cityscape die cut. I really wish I knew the brand to share for the die cuts. If you recognize, please let me know!

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

Freshly Made Sketches #661

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #661!

I'm excited to be hosting the challenge this week! My sketch was created around a Tim Holtz Bowtie die I have had sitting unused for at least a year. Remember, you can use the sketch as a background element or the main image of your design. I saw a wrapped gift first, but also think it would be fun to play with plaids or use the three smaller pieces to frame something in the largest panel. I can't wait to see the gallery fill with your creative ideas!

A piece of designer paper is used to provide a gift wrapped base for the aqua bow. As I was putting the bow together, a snowflake die cut kept calling to be used and adds a bit of interest to the design. The last step was to make a tag with the liquid platinum embossed MFT sentiment and Avery Elle die. It was tied off with dark gray twine and slipped under the bow layers.

 

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