It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our hostess is the lovely Judy Rozema. Take a look at this fun sketch:

I needed to make a couple of thank you cards and we had been enjoying such lovely Fall weather (now we’re back in the 70s), so I decided to make a Fall-themed card.

I started with the dsp — Gilded Autumn specialty dsp. I cut out a banner shape and punched out some of the leaves and acorns from another sheet of the dsp.

I cut out a strip of scallops from a copper foil sheet using a die from the Peony Dies and placed that under the top of the banner.

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, Beautiful Autumn, and was embossed with some copper embossing powder.

I couldn’t decided whether to use a Mint Macaron card base or a Crumb Cake base, so I used both. Here’s the other card:

This card used the same supplies, except I traded Early Espresso card stock and embossing powder for the copper.

We hope you’ll join us and create 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!

We have another new sketch for you over at Freshly Made Sketches. And this week our hostess is our crazy talented friend from Colorado, Kim Singdahlsen. Take a look at this fun layered card:

When I first saw this sketch I immediately thought of paint chips. Maybe that’s because we are preparing to have our house painted and I’ve been looking at paint chips a lot lately. I pulled out some favorite Fall colors of inks and sponged some of those colors on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

I used a color scheme of Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Terracotta Tile, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry and masked off a 3/4″ block before applying each color. Stampin’ Up’s grid paper really made this easy.

The leaves and acorn are from the Gilded Autumn dsp and the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and coordinating dies. The sentiment was embossed with some old Early Espresso embossing powder. In my excitement of knowing exactly what I wanted to make with this sketch as soon as I saw it, I didn’t look at the sketch closely enough. I didn’t notice that the sentiment is supposed to go below the focal panel until I was tying up this post. Oops!

The focal panel was placed on a card base which was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.

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 created for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
