Another somewhat gloomy fall like day yesterday. I worked on a bunch of projects in the morning and squeezed in a little TV too. Last night I went over to Jim’s and we met up with Laura and Michelle and went over to the venue for the fundraiser to check out and brainstorm a few ideas. After that we went and had dinner, it’s nice to get to meet really nice people and Laura and Michelle are just that! This morning I have some projects to complete and then who know what I’ll be up to later! 😀
Today I have a card to share with you for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
I’m really loving that Concord & 9th Blooms Fill-In Stamp! I used Black Licorice and my Mini MISTI to stamp the background and then filled the images in with Jalapeño, Noble Fir, Merman, Peacock and Sunflower. There are two flower clusters on the background that you can cut out with the Coordinating Dies, I cut one of them out. Then I trimmed the leftover and adhered it to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My greeting is from the same set and is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto a piece of Peacock. I added that to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. The cut out flower cluster is then adhered with 3D Foam Squares and the card is done! I’m having so much fun with that background that I left it in my MISTI so I can stamp a few more later! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Thursday everyone! 🙂

This is awesome, love the colors you chose. Omg, we had frost overnight. Scrapping the car windows in the early morning. I detest winter!
Thank you so much Linda!! It’s too early for frost!! I detest Winter too! 🙂
Pretty card, Justin. I love the bright colors and the stamps with die to make it so easy. I love your take on the sketch with the layers turned in different directions. Take care. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you HJ! Hope you had a great weekend! 🙂
Gorgeous!! I love that you created the background on the vertical banner with the coordinating bouquet on the square. The sideways “thank you” is a fun touch. And I love the rich color scheme. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Thanks Kim! Need to mix it up ever so often! 🙂
