Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #230


Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great week and had a lovely Easter weekend!  We had an extra long Easter weekend.  The kids finally got the "Snow Day" they'd been hoping for.  Of course it was an ice day but they still got an extra day at home!  The first day off this year due to weather and it came late in March.  Go figure!

Today is Wednesday and we have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am blessed enough to be this week's hostess!  I always find coming up with a sketch challenging!  It's hard to find a sketch that will appeal to everyone so sometimes you just come up with something and hope for the best!

I wasn't actually sure what I would want to do with this sketch!  I had a few ideas but of course none of them panned out!  I then saw this sweet banner die from Reverse Confetti and realized I hadn't used it yet and wanted to give it a whirl.  I had a hard time finding a sentiment that would work but found one in the set that came with the Watercolour Wishes kit!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP: Brights DSP Stack
Stamps: Watercolour Wishes (sentiment set)
Ink: Black Stazon
Other: Double Scalloped Garland Confetti Cuts, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by!  I hope you'll take the time to head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see all the amazing cards the Design Team has created for you!

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks!
Jen

  5. We're supposed to get some snow this weekend which is nuts! The only good thing about snow in April is that it doesn't last long! Glad to hear the boys got their much-wanted snow day, even if it was really an ice day! I love your take on your own sketch! The banner is pretty fabulous, especially with the rhinestones!
