Freshly Made Sketches #525

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #525!

 


Like so many people, the news over the last week has influenced my creativity and I thought Clean Team designer Karren Johnson's sketch is perfect to highlight a design around the colors of the Ukrainian flag.



The Simon Says Stamp Streaming Heart die is cut at a slight tilt on a white panel to leave the open heart negative space. The Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday sentiment is added next.

Blue and yellow panels are cut slightly wider than the white panel and trimmed down to fit the lines of the heart using an old school pencil and scissors method. Another technique I haven't used in ages was to distress the edges of the colored panels. 




My thoughts are with both crafting friends in Ukraine and so many Ukrainian Canadian friends right now and hope this nightmare ends quickly.

Please check out the Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Make Sketches this week.

I'm linking this card to the Color Hues Challenge.




Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
