Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #521

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  I'm so confused with what day it is because my boys had a PA Day (Day off school) on Monday and I keep thinking we're a day behind!  My oldest started a new semester and is super excited to have Military Studies as a course!  He will love it!  My youngest will be sewing a pair of pyjamas at school!  They have some pretty cool course choices here in Alberta!

Anyhow, we have a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess is the witty Linda Callahan!  Linda creates gorgeous cards and keeps us in stitches!  Head over to her blog and check out her beautiful creations!  

So this sketch threw me for a while and in the end I apparently couldn't follow it very well!  Seriously.  My tulip is a little too high.  Unfortunately, it's not moving!  I do love a springy looking tulip and needed a little spot of spring on this cold, snowy winter day!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush, Vellum

DSP: Sunshine and Rainbows 6X6 pack

Stamps: Bitty Buzzwords (Honey Bee Stamps)

Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Melon Mambo, Strawberry Slush, Pink Pirouette

Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Bitty Buzzwords Honey Cuts, Tulips Dies, Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Subtle Shimmer Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog!  You'll find a beautiful array of cards to inspire you!  We sure hope you'll join in our challenge this week.

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #517

Hello and Happy New Year!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and enjoyed some time with family and friends!  I also hope the new year has started well!  We're in a deep freeze here in Alberta!  It's absolutely freezing.  These temperatures aren't foreign to me but I haven't experienced them in years!  It's supposed to warm up on the weekend and let me tell you I'm counting the days!

We have our first new sketch of 2022 at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Amy O'Neill!  Amy helps me branch out and try new colour combinations!  She's an inspiration!  Please head on over to her blog and check out her gorgeous creations!

I struggled with this card.  I have a very linear way of thinking so these abstractly placed squares threw me!  As you can tell from my card, I just couldn't go abstract!  I tried, oh how I tried!  I wanted to try out the new Tulip Dies from Stampin Up!  They're so sweet!  I definitely need to play with them more!  They will be perfect for spring and help with the winter blues!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Pear Pizazz, Basic White

Other: Tulip Dies, Stitched Squares (Lil Inkers), Iridescent Rhinestones, Dainty Diamonds Textured Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  

I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog!  The Design Team has created some beautiful cards to inspire you!

Have an amazing day!
