Freshly Made Sketches 400 Anniversary Celebration!

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches 400!

We have had so much fun celebrating the 400th sketch at Freshly Made Sketches all month long! 

There are even more reasons to play along with this fabulous sketch as Jennifer Timko has gathered a number of generous sponsors to help us celebrate and prizes will be randomly awarded to cards in the gallery.

I can't seem to leave my Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes alone and was playing with an MFT sun ray stencil when this idea came together. A square is die cut from the center of the inked panel and adhered to the card base. The first part of the sentiment is stamped and then foam adhesive added to create the shaker box. A piece of transparency covers the opening of the large panel and closes the microbeads and sequins in place. The MFT Sunshine die is cut from an inked piece of scrap paper and layer with a black die cut before being adhered in place.

Head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see a list of all the sponsors this week and the terrific Clean Team cards!

Freshly Made Sketches 400 Celebration - Week 3

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!

It is Week 3 of our month long Anniversary Celebration at Freshly Made Sketches! This week it is sketch 300 that is once again being used to inspire us.

I watercolored a few pieces of scrap watercolor paper to get the pink for the ice cream, brown for the cone and blue background panels. The Hero Arts cone die cut was embossed and a sprinkle of course glitter sugar added to the edge of the ice cream. These pieces were adhered to a large circle embossed panel before the Lawn Fawn sentiment was added.

I hope you will continue to join in our anniversary celebration and play along!

CASology Week 350: WATER

Welcome to Week 350 at CASology!

There are so many directions to go with out cue word this week that I had a hard time narrowing it down. As I will be sitting on the beach or floating in the sea when this card posts, in the end pulled out Paper Smooches Get Outta Town for this great sentiment.

The tropical drink is stamped and masked first, then the wave lightly inked in and the sentiment added. 

The design team has fabulous cards for you this week!
