Freshly Made Sketches #430




I designed our sketch this week and was inspired by a rarely used Spellbinders die set that I ran across while rearranging a few things in the office. 

I stamped and heat embossed the Rubbernecker Stamps Layered Poppy outline on a piece of watercolor paper and colored it with Zig Real Brush markers. 



The dry panel is die cut into the diamond shape along with a pair of black die cuts for layering. The next biggest diamond gave too thick of a border and I liked the look of the open side points that came with layering instead. Am MFT Greetings & Salutations sentiment and trio of Pretty Pink Posh jewels finish off the design.




The Clean Team has done an outstanding job with this sketch! I hope you are inspired to work with different shaped panels on your cards. If you are a fan of clean and simple designs, the current challenge at CASology is KITE, which could fit in nicely with our sketch!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
