Happy Wednesday, everyone!! Sorry for the long break….I actually took a vacation. A real live vacation! To San Francisco! Woohoo! It was a crazy few months around my house so DH and I decided it was a good time to get away. So now I’m back and ready to create some more. Hoping to get into the craft room over the next few days and I have some fun stuff coming up for you. But for today, I am the sketch hostess at Freshly Made Sketches.
I used this awesome new set from the main SU catalog called Garden in Bloom to create this fun and whimsical card. As the last days of summer have left, I’m still hanging on to the summer color palette. I’m sure I’ll be all fall soon but I just had to create one more! These stamps are super easy to use, I just stamped the flowers in Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay by stamping off the first (big) layer and then adding the accent layer full strength. The leaves are the same using Cucumber Crush. The outlines are Momento Black and I hand cut the images. I added some splatters from Gorgeous Grunge to create the “panel” from my sketch and then pulled in a sentiment from a Paper Pumpkin set for my little crossing panel. The placement of the panel and the flowers allowed me to attach the vellum using Glue Dots and they are perfectly hidden. I added a few little white sequins to finish.
I hope you enjoy my sketch this week. I’ll be back soon to share some more. Until then, have a great day!
