Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #432


Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're all still surviving your self isolation and quarantines!  We are getting into a school routine (sort of) and so that helps to fill the days.  The weather has been a little cool and it snowed today so there isn't much interest in being outside.  I guess it is April in Canada and we have to expect some crazy weather!

We have a great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches from the super talented Jennifer Timko!  Jen is a colouring and flower creating whiz and her cards are always breathtaking!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

So I made the card below first.  I wanted to make a vertical card but the sentiment wouldn't fit so I had to flip the sketch on it's side.  I sure do love coffee cards even though I don't like coffee!  For me it should say "Life Happens, but Tea Helps!"  I then decided to make a second card using one of my favourite dies - the sun 'n clouds from Reverse Confetti!  I wanted a card that was bright and cheery!


Supplies (Sun n Clouds Card):
Cardstock: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight
DSP: Gingham 6X6 Stack
Stamps: Well Hello (MFT)
Ink: Black Stazon
Other: Cloud Embossing Folder, Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti), Dimensionals

Supplies (Coffee card):
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP: Brights 6X6 Stack
Stamps: Cup of Love (MFT)
Ink: Black Stazon
Other: Mini Cup of Life Dienamics (MFT), Black Jewels, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team created for your inspiration.

Have an amazing day!

Jen
