Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Playing along with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches with a Halloween card.
I used a Memory Box die set – Trick or Treaters – for the focal point, pairing it with a Stampin’ Up sentiment and patterned paper from We R Memory Keepers. I particularly like how this sketch uses pattern. (I have a lot of patterned paper and often look for ways to use it.) Hope you’re having a terrific weekend!
I’m mixing things up a bit this week and playing along with Freshly Made Sketches for the first time.
Why, yes, I am still making nautical cards! I had so much fun making them last week, I’m making more! Although I considered using patterned papers, I decided I wanted to stamp the individual pieces instead. I stamped just about everything more than once, in a variety of colors, before making my final selections. I’m sure some people can just “know” right away that they want a particular element to be a certain color, but not me! I need to see all of the different combinations.
