Collection of Leaves — FMS650

Posted on by

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes for us from the very talented and lovely Judy Rozema. Take a look at what she has for us:

School has been back in session here for a couple of weeks now. I feel like that means it should be Fall, but in Texas we’re a long way away from that! But I can pretend and make Fall-themed cards!

I started by stamping the background stamp, Leaf Collection, three times — in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Copper Clay. I then cut them into three strips and placed them on the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from Autumn Leaves with Copper Clay ink and cut it out with a die from the Spotlight on Nature die collection. I cut out some leaves from the Autumn Leaves die collection and arranged them around the sentiment, and added some Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots and a linen thread bow as embellishments.

We hope you’ll join us and make 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!

With You — FMS636

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!
