Freshly Made Sketches #396

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!

Clean Team designer Linda Callahan has given us a fabulous sketch to work with this week!

This card is miles away from where I started the design, but once I had the idea to stitch a frame I couldn't let it go. This MFT Happy Llamadays llama image fit the rustic feel of my stitching. A little selective stamping allowed me to transform it from a Christmas holiday stamp to a birthday image.

The sentiment is masked to remove the "s", heat embossed and the tassel stitches added before it is adhered to the card base.

The Clean Team has terrific ideas this week - check them out and join us over at Freshly Made Sketches!

I'm linking this card to Seize the Birthday! in the Anything Goes category.

Freshly Made Sketches #395

Welcome the Freshly Made Sketches #395!

This fun sketch was designed by the talented Jen Mitchell! With a new to me Pretty Pink Posh Spring Wreath stamps sitting on my desk waiting to be inked up, there was no question how I was going to use the circle element of Jen's design.

The stamped, heat embossed and die cut wreath is colored with Copic markers and popped up over the PPP Everyday Greetings sentiment.

The Clean Team has fabulous cards this week! We hope you can join us and play along with Freshly Made Sketches!

CASology Week 347: CITRUS

Welcome to Week 347 at CASology!

I am lucky enough to have a lemon tree in the yard and pretty much add lemon juice or zest to a meal almost every day (lemon potatoes are roasting as I write this). I love to share the harvest with friends and made a card to go with a future gift basket.

The PTI tag and sentiment is finished with a lemon washi tape and nestled between a couple watercolored Memory Box Small Citrus Rounds dies.

Check out the terrific design team cards!
