It’s Wednesday, and that means there’s a new sketch up over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week it comes to us all the way from France courtesy of our queen of die-cuts, Cecile Ribon. Take a look at her fun sketch:
I should have taken another look at this great sketch before finishing up my card. I looked at the sketch and had an idea to use some of the branches/leaves from the Leaf Collection background stamp to place around a sentiment in the center. And then I neglected to look at the sketch again until I went to type up this post. The sketch didn’t look like I remembered it! Not only did I not make a square card, but somehow my branches/leaves ended up under the focal rectangle in the middle, not around it. What happened?!? Sigh… I should know better than to trust my memory.
I stamped the background stamp on three pieces of white card stock — once with Lemon Lime Twist ink, again with Peach Pie ink, and a third time with Garden Green ink. I then cut out some of the leaves with my paper snips.
The sentiment is from the Comforting Thoughts stamp set and was punched out with the Modern Oval punch. I added some In Color Resin Dots as embellishments.
We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! Go take a look at what the design team created for your inspiration at the Freshly Made Sketches site — they did a much better job of following the sketch than I did!
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
