Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #537

Hello

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We finally have some spring weather!  I'm hoping it stays and the snow stays away!  I think I can finally stop bringing in my plants at night!  Spring weather in Western Canada is definitely different than we were used to in Ontario!  Though I don't miss the humidity at all!

We've got a brand new and fabulous sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is our theatre queen and turtle loving Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are always adorable so head over to her blog to check them out! 

So I had an idea of what this card should look like.  Unfortunately that idea didn't pan out!  Nor did the next one!  I wasn't actually going to put a sentiment on this one but I thought the card looked a little naked!  I used the new In Colour - Starry Sky for this.  It's such a beautiful colour!  I really love all the new In Colours!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Starry Sky, Basic White, Basic Black, Silver Foil

DSP: In Colour 6X6 Pack

Stamps: Honey Bee

Ink: Starry Sky

Other: Dainty Diamonds Textured Embossing Folder, Lovely Layers Anemone Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Silver Thread, In Colour Jewels, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  There are a bunch of amazing examples posted there!  

Have a fabulous day!

We've got a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Amy O'Neill!  Amy's cards are always so sweet!  Make sure you head over to her blog to check them out!  

I wanted to try and make up for the card that I wasn't happy with last week!  I started with my Lovely Layers Coneflower again but this time decided to get some texture in the background!  I combined the brand new In Colours Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis on this card!  I just love how they look together!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, Daffodil Delight, Gold Foil

Stamps: LJD Birthday Greetings

Ink: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #534

 

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  I hope you're enjoying some beautiful spring weather!  We've had a great week but we could really use some rain.  I can't believe how dry it is here and we haven't even gotten to summer yet. I'm kind of dreading summer if we don't get some rain.  

We've got another fabulous sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess this week is the absolutely amazing Cecile Ribon!  Cecile has the most amazing die collection I've ever seen and one day I'd love to travel to France to visit and play with those dies!!!

I wanted to keep my card nice and simple!  I also wasn't feeling super creative so I needed to keep things as simple as I could!  I really wanted to use my coneflower dies and opted to stick with a plain white flower.  I didn't really know how to create the background so used some stamps from my retired French Foliage set.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Gold Foil

Stamps: French Foliage, Flowering Tulips

Ink: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Other: Lovely Layers Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps),  Tasteful Label Dies, Polished Dots, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll rush on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out our challenge this week!  The Design Team has done an amazing job at creating some gorgeous examples for you!  

We sure hope you'll play along with us this week!

Have an amazing day!
