Freshly Made Sketches #377





Narelle Farrugia created this pretty sketch which had me immediately thinking of layering floral images. In the last few years our garden has moved to drought resistant succulents and I've come to love their wide range of colors and flowers.




I used MFT Sweet Succulents for this design, stamping the flowering, multi-armed prickly pear in a round pot directly on the panel and the aloe and agave on scraps of paper to be colored and fussy cut. The sketch helped me decide how to pair the succulents and pots to echo the circle and square elements of the design.




As always, the Clean Team has wonderful cards based on this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. We hope you are inspired to play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
