Welcome to a new year of challenges from Freshly Made Sketches! This week’s sketch is courtesy of the amazing Tui Nathan of Stampin-Time. Her style is always highlighted by the most lovely details and she has brought us a layout that lends itself to so many possibilities.
With the beginning of a new year it seemed appropriate to use this sketch for a baby card. My husband works with the West Virginia Air National Guard and as you may imagine there are some serious West Virginia fans there. This was my color motivation since this card is for some friends from work who had a baby boy. I pulled out my Button Buddies set. It is one of my favorites from the new catalog for the pure fun of it! The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used a print from the Just Add Cake DSP against a Night of Navy background. Some retired Night of Navy Satin Ribbon was used to add a little dimension across the card. Of course the buttons make this…aren’t they fun??!!
You will be impressed with what the design team has done with this sketch and we can’t wait to see what you will show us! Come along and join the fun!
Today is the first day back at United Airlines for me. Wish me luck in going back to “school” (more here if you missed the announcement)! Thanks for stopping in today. See you soon!
