Freshly Made Sketches #487

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #487!

I love the layered panels in Jennifer Timko's fabulous sketch! I took advantage of the slimline length to join two Spellbinders Birds on a Wire dies and color them in a rainbow.

Simple MFT Brushstroke Greetings dies finish the card.

Freshly Made Sketches #486

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #486!

I have the privilege of creating the sketch this week and went with one of my favorite design elements: a simple curved edge. For full disclosure, my sketch was heavily influenced by the Poppystamps Tall Curve Border die that has been sitting on my desk for a while. 

Both the curved edge panel and PTI Christmas Cheer sentiment are cut from shimmer cardstock. The Poppystamps Tall Border Snowflake die and a few smaller snowflakes are cut from Lawn Fawn Sparkle Pixie Dust paper.

The border dies are layered and popped up on a white panel before the sentiment is placed. The shimmer and sparkle are so pretty in real life and so hard to capture in a photo.

I am so excited to see how you use the sketch and whether you go big or small with your sentiments this week! Check out the fabulous Clean Team designs at Freshly Made Sketches and play along with us this week.

Freshly Made Sketches #485

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #485!

It has been ages since I've needed a wedding card but we have two coming up in the next 6 weeks. This card really took on a life of its own as the original plan slowly changed in every which way except for the vertical banner. Dies, sentiments and designer papers were arranged and rearranged over a couple days before I finally made a commitment.

The PTI Penned Elegance sentiment is heat embossed on the PTI heart die and popped up over the MFT Fishtail Flag die cuts. A smaller banner is created with ancient PTI Banner Builders dies - I love the little banner toppers!

The hearts joining the banners are cut from the Memory Box Heat Wave die and all a slightly different shape and size, adding a touch a whimsy to the design.

I hope you check out the fabulous Clean Team designs at Freshly Made Sketches and join in the fun this week!
