Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your Christmas was full of joy and that you are having a great start to 2019. I have a couple more days here with my college student before he heads back to school. It’s so nice having the family all together. The days pass way too quickly though.
We’re back with our first sketch for the year, and this week it is my pleasure to be the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches. I have a sketch that I think will be quite versatile and I hope you’ll play along with us. Here’s a look at the sketch:
I have a box of goodies from the Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration, which starts tomorrow, that I’ve been dying to tear into but have been too preoccupied with the holidays. I thought the circle image in the sketch would be perfect for one of the new heart dies in the Occasions catalog so that is the direction I took.
I love this particular heart die because the detail is gorgeous. I used it with some retired red glimmer paper and paired it with Powder Pink card stock and a piece of Tropical Escape dsp. The dsp was cut using a new stitched rectangle die, which is another new offering in the Occasions catalog.
The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, Meant to Be.
We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch. We love to see what you create. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration. We are excited to have three new designers on the team, and I’m sure you’ll love what they’ve made.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
Product List
I wanted to make another Valentine, but I wanted to use some non-traditional Valentine colors. Starting with a watercolor wash, I applied some Daffodil Delight ink with a watercolor brush onto some wet watercolor paper. I stamped a few leaves from the Heart Happiness set onto the watercolor paper, and then stamped the hearts and flower from the same stamp set and cut them out.
