Thanks a lot for Freshly Made Sketches



I had a little time this weekend, so I thought I would pull out something new and tackle this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

They are celebrating their 200th sketch this week with all sorts of great prizes.

I love how CAS the sketch is, and I kept my card very simple.

The background is Grout Gray and Insulation Pink cardstock from MFT.

Then I stamped the floral banner from Paper Smooches' Best Buds set.  It was colored with Copics and fussy cut to look like a die cut - with a bit of a white border.

I adhered the banner over a bit of white thread and then added a few sequins from Neat & Tangled.

Pretty quick and easy, but I love the impact, and you could definitely mix up the colors and make brighter or bolder versions and even mass produce this one.

Hope you have a great Monday!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock - MFT - Grout Gray, Insulation Pink, and Sweet Tooth cardstock; CTMH - White Daisy cardstock
Stamps:  Paper Smooches - Best Buds
Ink:  MFT - Steel Gray Hybrid Ink
Other:  Copics, Neat & Tangled - Crystal Clear Sequins; Tombow - Mono adhesive; Scotch - Foam Adhesive

    Good night! These color panels together rock! I have yet to use the insulation pink and, true to form, you inspire me to try it! Made for a smashing combo to feature your centerpiece. This is a gem Miriam! :)
