Hello!
Happy Wednesday! We are in a bit of a winter wonderland here! I'm not a big fan of snow (in case you didn't know that!) but the kids are super happy! They both had a blast at school yesterday. They love to play in the snow and because we haven't had much this year at all they both took full advantage of it! They both can't wait to go back to school to get some more snow play in today!
We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is my dear friend Jen Timko! Jen is such a creative card maker and has become so talented in the marker department!! I'm totally jealous of her amazing colouring skills!
This week's ColourQ challenge also fits perfectly with this card! Black, white and red are my colours!
Now, don't you all be shocked but this card was the first try with the sketch! Yup, you read that right. I didn't change anything! I am as flabbergasted as you are!!! At first I wasn't sure what I would do but I do love these poppies from My Favorite Things! I do think the poppies need a little something in their centres but I didn't want to do something that created a disaster!!!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Vellum
Stamps: LJD Pretty Poppies (MFT)
Ink: Stazon Black, Real Red
Other: LJD Poppies Die-namics (MFT), Stitched Rectangles (Lil' Inkers), Dimensionals
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll pop over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the beautiful cards the design team has created for you! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week!
Have a fabulous day!
Jen
