Today’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge is courtesy of the wonderful Jen Mitchell. I just love the clean look of this one, don’t you??!! It lends itself to so many interpretations!
I thought that a pretty stamped image was just perfect for the rectangular panel and I chose the lovely Bordering on Romance. Yes, it is retiring so if you don’t already have it, don’t delay! This is kind of an ode to retiring things since I also used Made for You and the Twitterpated DSP. All of these are on the retiring list. After stamping the image in Basic Gray, I watercolored it with Baja Breeze (another retiring item), Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz. Ok, that is good news….Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz are rejoining us!! I used the Large Scallop Edgelit for the side scallop and some retired Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding for the bow. Some Basic Pearls make for perfect flower centers.
I just love this sketch and think it will be one I come back to over and over! Thanks, Jen, for a great one! I look forward to all the gallery will hold this week. I see more inspiration and more pinning for me!
So glad you were able to drop in today. As I said yesterday, this is a crazy week and I hope to fit in a little more stamping. I hope your week is fabulous! See you soon!
