I am so excited to bring you the sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!! I suppose it shouldn’t surprise you that my sketch choice for the week is a bit flying inspired. “Straight and level” flying is the goal of every airline pilot. Despite the efforts of my instructors and their failed engines, hydraulics, electrics (and anything else they can thing of…in a simulator, of course), my training partner and I have dutifully maintained this over the last few weeks. Apparently, that is what I needed for stamping too! The design team has created some spectacular samples and I can’t wait to see what everyone makes this week!
I made this card for my youngest son’s birthday. Patterned Party is such a fun stamp set and I just love these little presents. I started with the Real Red polka dot print and framed it using Basic Black. Then I chose happy primary colors, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight to go with the Real Red. I thought it would be fun to add a little banner grounded by a button for the sentiment. I tied the button with some black thread to mimic the bows on the presents. The best part is that my little one liked Mommy’s card.
This is the last week of training here in Denver. My big check ride is this Friday and then I’ll be done. Sometime next week I can expect to go out on my first trip. Hopefully I’ll get some stamping in before they send me on my way!! Thank you for all the encouraging messages while I have been here and I am grateful for your patience on my minimal posting. I hope to be back to “normal” in the next couple of weeks!! I miss my stamping friends and can’t wait to catch up with them!
Make sure you go check out the awesome samples the design team has made. I already see some CASEing in my future!! Have a great week!
Stamps: Patterned Party, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Paper: Brights Designer Paper Pack, Basic Black, Whisper White; Ink: Real Red, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black; Accessories: Neutrals Buttons, Black Thread, Dimensionals
