Freshly Made Sketches #390

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #390!

Clean Team designer, Judy Rozema, has given us a fun sketch to work with this week! I love the banner/flag elements!

I've been trying to work a few more masculine designs into my card stash and love that this Poppystamps Birthday Blowout sentiment could be used for a birthday, graduation or general congratulations card.

A piece of nautical washi tape covered white cardstock is cut to create the smaller banner and an anchor embossed scrap used for the larger banner. These are layered and wrapped around the stitched main panel before the sentiment embossed heart is added.

The navy anchor embossed panel is adhered on the left side of the card base before the white panel is popped up over it.

I'm linking this card to Poppystamps Challenge #56 Wishi Washi.



After checking out the Clean Team cards at Freshly Made Sketches I hope you will be inspired to play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by,

CAS(E) This Sketch #323

I'm spending a little of our gray and drizzly Memorial Day weekend organizing a few things in the office and one thing led to another, resulting in a card inspired by CAS(E) This Sketch #323.

The Avery Elle Brushed sentiment is clear embossed on a watercolor panel before the it is colored with three shades of green Zig Real Brush markers.

The sentiment section was cut with an MFT Stitched Hexagon Stax die first and then the Poppystamps Mod Hex die was used to cut the smaller hexagons.

To add interest and dimension, the sentiment piece is layered three times, the next two larger pieces twice and the smallest hexagons are just a single layer each.

Thanks for stopping by,

Freshly Made Sketches #389

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #389!

Clean Team designer Narelle Farrugia has given us a lovely sketch this week. A large Memory Box Pavilia provides the circle element in my design.

The background is cut from a slightly lighter pink cardstock than the outline die, with some of the dark pink petals left in place for texture and interest. A pink gem is added to the center before the flower is popped up on the panel and a pair of leaves added.

The MFT Greetings & Salutations sentiment is heated embossed before being added along with a scatter of raindrops.

I hope you get a chance to check out all the wonderful Clean Team cards at Freshly Made Sketches and play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by,
