Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #286

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We are having another wet week.  We have had a ton of rain in the last week or so and the forecast is for more rain!  At least the rivers and creeks will be full to start the summer season (if summer ever decides to arrive!).

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of our master flower maker and fussy cutter, Narelle Farrugia!  Narelle makes the most beautiful cards!  Please head over to her blog to check them out!

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my card during the day today...this will teach me to just take the picture the day I make the card and not wait!!!  I had these poppies sitting on my craft table already coloured!  I decided they needed to be used on this card.  I added some Wink of Stella (of course) and called it a day!  Okay, it didn't come together that easily.  I went through a ton of DSP changes and there is a whole other card that was created before this one!  Sometimes the creative juices just don't flow the way we want them to!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pink (I have no idea what colour pink it is!)

DSP: Pop of Pink

Stamps: Plane and Simple (My Creative Time), LJD Pretty Poppies

Ink: Versamark Black

Other: LJD Pretty Poppies Dies, Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards the Design Team has created for you!  

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #224

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!
