It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our sketch comes from the Rocky Mountain state of Kim Singdahlsen, our fabulous hostess this week. Take a look at her fun sketch:
Kim always makes such thoughtful cards, putting little touches into each creation just for the recipient. I needed to make a birthday card for my mom, so I channeled a little of Kim’s magic to create a card with a book theme as my mom loves to read. I used books for the three strips in the sketch and this adorable bird from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set, which is one of my faves in the new annual catalog.
I colored the images with my alcohol markers and then cut them out with my paper snips. The sentiment is from an old Paper Pumpkin stamp set.
We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery each week. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has made for your inspiration.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
