Hi everyone! Happy to share the latest from Freshly Made Sketches this week. Our sketch designer Judy Rozema had given us a sketch that is sure to get you crafting! I love the simple circle in the corner which can be taken literally or used for another shape. I opted for another shape.
I’m definitely slow out of the gate when I haven’t been crafting much and I needed something that was just an easy color. I shuffled through the stamp stash and saw this Be The Change stamp set from Ellen Hutson and knew it was just right. I stamped the moth and colored using my BG 70 series and T series Copic Markers. It seemed a little too clean so I decided to add some stenciling behind the image for a little more pop.
To match the color in the moth, I had to blend two Distress Oxide Colors. On top of the Basketweave stencil from Honey Bee Stamps, I blended Iced Spuce and then some Tumbled Glass on top. The sentiment comes from another Ellen Hutson set, the Mondo Gerbera Daisy. Finally I added some Sparkling Clear sequins using Honey Bee Stamps Precision Glue.
I hope you are doing well in this new year. Still been busy with work and now this week I’m enjoying time with my oldest before he heads back to college. Thanks so much for stopping in today. See you soon!
