There’s a new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes from our Canadian friend and mountain hiker, Jen Brum. Take a look at what she has provided:

I thought this sketch was the perfect excuse to make a floral themed card. I decided to dust off my Textured Floral stamp set and use it again.

I stamped the flower three times using Calypso Coral ink and some of the leaves using Old Olive ink, and then cut them out with the coordinating Textured Floral Dies. I also cut out some more leaves using some Mossy Meadow card stock.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped using Memento black ink.

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 gallery to see what the design team has made for your inspiration!

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our hostess is our favorite fussy-cutting, collage-making, stamper extraordinaire, Narelle Farrugia. Take a look at her fun sketch:

I recently got the Textured Floral Bundle, and I knew I could make it work with this sketch. I ended up adding a lot of things to the sketch (leaves for the three flowers), but hopefully the sketch can still be seen.

I started out by scoring two parallel lines on the card base to represent the horizontal strip on this sketch. You have to look really hard to see them on my card as I almost covered them up entirely. I was supposed to put a thin strip of dsp there, but didn’t remember that until after I had glued all of the flowers down and I really didn’t want to start over. Sigh…

I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, and Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam inks. The flower centers were stamped with Crushed Curry ink. I added some Iridescent Pearls for embellishments.

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. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.
