Freshly Made Sketches #677

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #677!

This fabulous sketch was created by the amazing Clean Team designer, Jennifer Brum! I am so tickled with the way my card came together because I thought I was going to make a baby card and then something else for the challenge when I sat down at my desk. 

The sweet Poppystamps Giraffe Trio dies are a favorite go-to image for first time parents but I just couldn't see how they would work for the sketch in my head. It was only when I started cutting and moving a few things around that I realized how nicely they were going to come together.

The trio of MFT Mod Rectangles are cut from white cardstock and two adhered along the middle and top right side of the panel. The giraffe family is cut from simply patterned paper scraps in shades of blue and adhered over the two rectangles. 

A couple of Memory Box Massa Leaf die cuts are trimmed apart and adhered so it looks like the giraffes are peeking over the tree tops before the third rectangle stamped with the MFT Beautiful Baby sentiment is added.

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

Freshly Made Sketches #676

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #676!

Clean Team designer Kim Singdahlsen has given us a fun sketch this week! A weekend harvesting lemons completely inspired my design and had me pulling out the Memory Box Small Citrus Rounds, Zig Real Brush markers and watercolor paper. 

While the various layers of watercolor dried, an MFT Rectangle Frame, cardstock and canvas look patterned paper were cut and layered. A partial sentiment from MFT Full of Sunshine is stamped on the paper and the die cut layered below to finish off the panel.

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

Freshly Made Sketches #675

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #675!

I can't wait to see what you do with the fabulous Clean Team designer Linda Callahan's sketch this week! For me, the trio of ledges were always going to be sentiment strips.

The Penny Black Bashful Flower die is adhered to a Darice Thin Lines embossed panel. Maybe it is because we just had an atmospheric river pass through, but the lines reminded me of a rainy downpour which made a fitting background. The sentiments from MFT Deepest Sympathy and Essential Sentiments stamp sets are heat embossed on various scraps before being popped up over the flower. The card base is the same deep indigo blue as the bottom sentiment strip.

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