Freshly Made Sketches #699

Happy middle of the week! Hope your August is going well. We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of designer Verena Shapiro. I’m not sure I kept to the intent but when I saw the circle, my first thought was this washi tape bouquet.

I already had this cut out so all I had to do was pick a sentiment and a background. I chose the gold embossing to match the gold in the washi tape. I thought the Rustic Brick Embossing Folder added nice texture.

I popped up layers with foam tape to give a bit more dimension and then added some Champagne Clear Drops with go well with the gold. Start to finish, about 30 minutes. Which was about as much time as I had. Washi tape and already cut elements for the win!

Thanks for stopping by today. And in case you didn’t notice, next week is one of those “big number” weeks for the challenge. We are planning a little trip down memory lane. Hope you will join us this week and come over to see us next week too.

A little late to post this here but a quick share of my card for the latest from Freshly Made Sketches. This fun one by Narelle had me pulling out that new washi tape again. So fun!

The Flowers for the Soul washi remains the star of the show. Just smooth it over some white card stock and cut with the coordinating dies (links below). I thought this Nectar card stock from Concord and 9th was the perfect background color.

I used the Rustic Brick 3D Embossing folder for some interest behind the flowers and added a gold embossed sentiment from the Mini Messages set. Some gold pearls to finish and match the sketch.

Sorry about the delay. Lots of flying and with all the weather, the time I thought I had for posting on a layover well…that didn’t happen. Have a great weekend!

Hi all! Been a busy week here. I have a sick kitty who is taking a bit of my time and my oldest came home for a quick trip so it was nice to spend some time with him. I did get in a tiny bit of crafting for Freshly Made Sketches and had a fun time using some new products for this sketch by our wonderful Karren.

I recently got the Flowers for the Soul suite of products from Pinkfresh Studio that was designed by Dawn Woleslagle. I learned with the holiday release that I really do love the quick results that come from the washi tape and quick was what I needed this week. All I had to do was attach the tape to some white card stock and cut with the coordinating dies.

After cutting out a bunch of the images, I just started playing around. I also got the Essentials: Elegant Circles dies from the new release and thought it would be perfect with the sketch. The sentiment is from the stamp set and is heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The edge die behind the banner is a retired die from Pinkfresh Studio.

Hope you are having a good week and that you get to spend a little time creating. Thanks for stopping in. See you soon!
