Freshly Made Sketches #689

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!

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!
