Freshly Made Sketches #663

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #663!

Awesome Clean Team designer, Jen Mitchell, is behind our fabulous sketch this week! I'm pretty sure it is because I've been on the hunt for a new belt that I immediately saw the sketch as a belt buckle and couldn't unsee it, so took a bit of creative liberty with the sketch for my design. I was kind of excited to play with older supplies after deciding to create a knit Santa suit.

A 4x11" piece of red cardstock is scored at 4 and 8 inches from the left to create the card base, with the left and right panels overlapping for a gatefold. The two side pieces were then embossed with a Lifestyle Crafts knit texture for a bit of interest.  Again digging into older supplies, a large scalloped border die trims the front side panel so that you can see the right side of his suit when the card is closed. The right panel hidden underneath the closed left panel is also given the same scalloped finish.

A square frame die is used to cut the glitter paper buckle and a stitched die is used for the belt. I debated leaving off a sentiment but in the end decided to add the sweet heat embossed Kerri Bradford Bundled Up sentiment.

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