Hello! I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week. I really like sketch challenges as it forces me to think of new ways to use my supplies.
- To begin, I stamped the Flower Explosion stamp in white pigment ink on So Saffron cardstock.
- While the ink dried, I cut the two birds, flowers, and foliage with the A Little Birdie set. I used a hole punch to cut centers for the flowers.
- I heat-embossed the Pinkfresh Studio sentiment on Poppy Parade cardstock.
- I cut the stamped So Saffron piece with a circle die.
- I used woodgrain cardstock in my stash to place behind the birds.
- The background was cut with the Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop die.
A couple of take-aways: I need to remember that foliage can be cut from vellum, white, metallic cardstock, … it doesn’t have to be green; a stitched circle, something that just cuts the outline, but not the center, would make a great addition to my stash.
Supplies:
I would say you nailed that challenge! What a great card. You are right, the vellum is great for the foliage.
Adorable birdie card, Jean – just love your take on the sketch!! So pretty with the woodgrain card too!!
