A clean and fabulous new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. This week’s sketch designer is the marvelous Kim Singdahlsen and I love this trio of stripes for all the options.
In my mind I saw an ombré panel for the sketch so I started on that path. I spritzed white card stock with Distress Spray Stain in Lost Shadow and Pumice Stone. Once dry, I inked with the combination of Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Peacock Feathers. After some light inking I ran the panel through with the Clover Petals 3D Embossing Folder and then cut the panel into three pieces to comply with the sketch better. Once cut apart I added a bit more ink in each color. I wanted a little more, well, something so I added a spray of Shimmer Spray from Hero Arts.
I looked through my unused die cuts stack and fount these two leaves. One is spritzed and one is plain white. Perfect! I did spray them with a little more Shimmer Spray and then added them on. The sentiment is from my foiled pile (I love to just make a stack when I’m foiling) and then finally I added some pearls to help emphasize the shimmer.
I hope you will come over to join the challenge this week. The lesson of this card is: yay for keeping a stash of pre-made die cuts and sentiments!! I hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping in.

I love the ombre look you created with the three stripes! And the embossing on it is a fabulous look!! Beautiful behind the simple white branches.
Gorgeous card my friend! I was just commenting on Kim’s card that those turquoise colours are my fav! So striking against the white background! Love it so much!
The ombre idea was genius! This is lovely!
