Freshly Made Sketches #576

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #576!


How fun is this scatter of circles from the talented Clean Team designer Amy O'Neill!? There are so many images that can be substituted for the circles and I went with balloons for a rainbow birthday card.





The three smallest MFT Balloon Stax dies were used with a rainbow of scrap cardstock to cut more balloons than needed, allowing me to play a bit until I was happy with the diagonal line floating from the bottom left to top right of the panel.

A knot was formed on the waxed thread before it was slipping onto the balloon ends and held in place with a dot of adhesive. Once dry, the threads were trimmed and some woven through the MFT Happy Birthday Script die cut. The sentiment is cut twice, with a black layer under the white to help it pop a bit on the panel. If you have this die, you will have noticed the "H" is actually upside down to fit the space a bit better.



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

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
