We may be in the sweltering throes of Summer (at least in Texas, we are), but don’t worry — we have a cool new sketch for you over at Freshly Made Sketches. It comes to us via France and our favorite die-cutting, card-making friend, Cecile Ribon, has a fun sketch for us. Take a look:
I really wanted to make another card with the sweet Bird’s Eye View stamp set, and I was determined to make it work with this sketch. So I used some Lemon Lolly and Crushed Curry inks to blend a sun on the card base, and then cut out some images from the stamp set to substitute something for the sailboat shape in the sketch.
Other than adding a sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set, I kept this one very simple. I lightly blended some Balmy blue ink around the sun to add a little color and colored the bird, branch and leaves with some alcohol markers.
This was a quick and easy card to make!
We hope you’ll join us and make your own card using the sketch! Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration!
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Oh this card is just too sweet! I just love that bird perched so nicely on the branch! So cute!
This is adorable and worked perfectly with the sketch! I cannot believe the temps in Texas! Scary hot! I hate it when it breaks 80 here!
This is the CUTEST! That set is on my wish list (I would have it already if it had dies!). Your design is so perfect for the sketch. I love your bird/s color. Hope it cools done some soon. My sister said it was 110 (Tucson) and I know TX is very similar!
So many typos!! Cools DOWN!
This little bird is so cute and you totally nailed the sketch! Such a fun card!
Oh Amy, I absolutely LOVE your card and the colors you chose!!! Thnx for the wonderful inspiration. I just bought this stamp set and can’t wait to try out your adorable card!! Many hugs, Karen ❌💖❌💐❌
Great card. How did you do the sun,
I basically created a stencil for it. I punched a circle out of a piece of scrap cardstock and used that as a stencil and added inks using a blender brush.
