Freshly Made Sketches #406

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #406!

I'm excited to be the designer of our sketch this week and love the cards created by the Clean Team!

We are impatiently waiting for dear friends to welcome their first grandchild which led me to make a new baby card. The baby gender is unknown, but I have a strong feeling I went with the correct color choice. If I'm wrong, I'll happily make a blue version and pop this one away for another day.

The MFT Beautiful Baby sentiment and a few cluster of stars are clear embossed on a white panel before being inked with Spin Sugar Distress Ink. A tiny bit of Picked Raspberry Distress Ink is added to the center and then both colors inked on a die cut heart.

I hope you are inspired to join us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

Freshly Made Sketches #405

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #405!

Judy Rozema designed a fun sketch for us this week that is perfect for highlighting so many different images. Leafs, bats and ornaments went through my mind before I decided to play with snowflakes.

The Hero Arts Christmas sentiment is stamped on the pale aqua panel first before adding the glitter paper snowflakes. The two larger ones are PTI Silver White Winter die cuts and the smallest is a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches this week. Check out the Clean Team Designer cards for more inspiration!

CASology Challenge 353: FEATHER

Welcome to CASology Challenge 353!

It takes more self-control than I have to resist a feather stamp and/or die, so my big challenge was deciding which set to use for this card.

Once I saw this sweet set of Poppystamps Tiny Feathers cut from a scrap of watercolor paper leftover from another project, the decision was made. A Poppystamps Birthday Blowout sentiment is stamped on the panel first and then the feathers were adhered. Quick, clean and simple.

The design team has fabulous cards!
