Freshly Made Sketches #661

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #661!

I'm excited to be hosting the challenge this week! My sketch was created around a Tim Holtz Bowtie die I have had sitting unused for at least a year. Remember, you can use the sketch as a background element or the main image of your design. I saw a wrapped gift first, but also think it would be fun to play with plaids or use the three smaller pieces to frame something in the largest panel. I can't wait to see the gallery fill with your creative ideas!

A piece of designer paper is used to provide a gift wrapped base for the aqua bow. As I was putting the bow together, a snowflake die cut kept calling to be used and adds a bit of interest to the design. The last step was to make a tag with the liquid platinum embossed MFT sentiment and Avery Elle die. It was tied off with dark gray twine and slipped under the bow layers.

 

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

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #660!

 

Clean Team designer Judy Rozema is the creative mind behind a fabulous sketch this week! I pulled out my Savvy Deer Head die almost immediately and then was a little stumped on what to do with the lovely scroll element in the sketch.

It was a slow work in progress but I love the final design! For fun and in a little nod to the elegant scroll, the deer was cut from glitter paper before being mounted on a woodgrain embossed oval panel. A number of leaves were cut from various shades of green cardstock and layered at the bottom of the oval. The heat embossed MFT Bitty Holiday Wishes sentiment finishes the design.

Freshly Made Sketches #659

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #659!

Clean Team member Amy O'Neill is the talented designer behind this great sketch! There are so many images and shapes that could be used in place of the circles. I literally went in circles through my balloon, star and ornament images before settling on this sweet line of baubles.

The Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Winter image is colored with Copic markers and coated with clear Nuvo drops to mimic the shine of glass ornaments. This slim strip is popped up over a panel stamped with a Lawn Fawn Deck the Halls sentiment and embossed with a Sizzix 3D Leaf Pattern folder. A few leafy die cuts add a bit more texture and detail to the design.

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