Freshly Made Sketches – 400th Sketch Week 2

Hello! I have had such a great time playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenges of late. This week’s sketch had me stumped all morning! There are so many possibilities.

In the end, I paired a textured panel with patterned paper and used a die-cut fence as the divider between the two.

• I cut SU So Saffron cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Woodgrain die and adhered the patterned paper (retired Basic Grey) to it. I die-cut the Taylored Expressions fence and adhered it to the yellow panel so that the base would be resting on the patterned paper.
• I cut the Poppystamps Barnyard Rooster (now retired) from red cardstock that matched the red in the patterned paper. I adhered the rooster just behind the fence.
• I heat-embossed a MFT sentiment (the idea being that the rooster was crowing about an accomplishment) on dark grey cardstock and cut it with a banner die. I added the sentiment to the fence with a small staple.

Supplies: Poppystamps Barnyard Rooster, SU So Saffron cardstock, Taylored Expressions Fence die, Basic Grey Patterned Paper
