The unofficial start of summer has arrived! Our weather has still been a bit spring-like and those are the colors I have used for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches card. Our sketch designer, Cécile Ribon, always has the most modern and fabulous cards so naturally her sketch is fabulous.

This card is for a dear friend’s daughter who just graduated from high school. The young women wear all white dresses (an all girls school) for commencement so I thought a more elevated card was in order. I stuck to a “script” and used the beautiful Flowers for the Soul Washi Tape (Pinkfresh Studio) again. Great for so many cards!! I pulled an old card stock from my stash and embossed with the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder.

For the center medallion, I chose this pretty shape from the Always and Forever product suite (Honey Bee Stamps). The sentiment is from the same suite. I added some gold pearls to add to the elegance of the gold on the washi.

Hope that you will come over to see the amazing work from the team and join our fun this week. Thanks for stopping in today!

We have a wonderful sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week. Created by the awesome Linda Callahan, who you can always count on for both inspiration and a great big smile. I’ll admit, I’m in a weird place creatively. Youngest came home from his first year of college (YAY!), graduation celebrations are looming for the oldest, I’ve been teaching out at the training center and then passing of my sweet kitty. My brain is cluttered and I am having trouble focusing enough to create. Part of the seasons of creativity and I’m just accepting that is ok. But it is also great to get a push and this is what the sketch did for me!

I have turned, yet again, to the gorgeous washi tape from the Flowers for the Soul suite by Pinkfresh Studio. I just played around with pieces until I got a grouping I liked. They are so pretty and so versatile. I have started doing some coloring on the stamp set with the same images and maybe, just maybe, I have a card with that effort in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I’m happy that the talented Dawn Woleslagle did the creative work and all I had to do was cut out the images.

I used the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder (Honey Bee Stamps) in the background to add a little interest. Even though the products come from different companies, they seem to coordinate really well. I embossed a sentiment from the Flowers for the Soul Stamp Set in gold to go with the gold touches in the washi and added a few gold pearls to finish.

Hope you get a creative push from this sketch too and come over to join us! Thanks so much for stopping by. See you soon!
