Happy middle of the week to you! It is time for another amazing sketch care of Freshly Made Sketches! This week is definitely a big one for us. It is with mixed emotions that we bid a fond farewell to Tui Nathan of Stampin-Time. I am such a fan of everything that Tui makes and have countless cards made by her on my Pin boards. But Tui has the opportunity to go to Nursing School and I cannot be more thrilled for her. Make sure you drop by and let her know how much you have appreciated the inspiration she provides every week!
I decided that this fabulous sketch was the perfect showcase for a big pattern from one of Stampin’ Up’s designer papers. But which one?? As I was looking through my papers, this print from Berry Blossoms seemed perfect. Cards like this are so fun to put together because they are so quick. I did add a couple of extra elements to give it a bit more depth. First, I thought the Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon would be good on the side of the panel. Then I remembered I had some brads from last year’s Sale-a-Bration to use (Sale-a-bration really is a gift that keeps on giving and this year’s promotion is still on-going). I love those little brads as flower centers! I didn’t have any particular purpose for this card so I thought it looked like an anniversary card. One that is always nice to have on hand for family.
I look forward to seeing the gallery again this week since I know it will be full of amazing cards! I hope you’ll be able to join us!
I’m so glad you stopped by today. See you again soon!

Great idea to use this pretty designer paper with a larger image to fill the expansive area of this sketch. The brads are the perfect embellishment for those flowers. Very nice!
