Do you ever take online classes? Well, I though I needed a perk up from the winter blahs so I signed up for one that focuses on die cutting called Stretch Your Dies from Online Card Classes. I’m even trying to do some of the homework. Ok, yeah, yeah….what does that have to do with Wednesday at Freshly Made Sketches?! I combined the ideas from day 1 of class with the sketch this week and I can’t wait to see what you think!
So the first day of class focus on word dies and I immediately thought of this fun scripty word from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. After cutting it a bunch of times from Whisper White card stock, I attached them to another panel of Whisper White using Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive (light hand). Then I cut the word again from Bermuda Bay so that I could add it over the circle. The triangle print on the sides comes from washi tape that comes with the Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Kit. I cut the circle and the panel from Painted Blooms DSP and then popped the extra sentiment on. I just love the effect from the tone on tone words down the panel, don’t you?! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it. Takes a little patience but worth it.
The team has created their usual fabulous inspiration and you’ll have such fun with this sketch. Our resident layer goddess Narelle has given us one that has just the right combination of layers and clean lines so that everyone should be happy! I’m going to try to continue with my class work and hopefully have some interesting stuff to share. Until then, I hope your week is great! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Go you with the homework! I love the white on white background. It’s such a subtle look but it really makes the sentiment stand out, I think. Fabulous!
I love this Jen! It so looks like it has been embossed! Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! This technique is fabulous. I was trying to figure out where you bought an embossing folder that matched that die! I love this card. Thanks for sharing what you learned in your class!
GREAT technique! I love tone on tone and it’s kind of a twist on dry embossing.
I think this is awesome! I noticed the background right away and love it!!TFS
