Freshly Made Sketches #36



Oh my goodness, this was my first attempt at an MDS card.  It took me hours to figure out what the heck to do.  I don't find the tutorials too terribly helpful, there was very little on you tube.  But, I gained tons of knowledge with this I tell ya.

This sketch is from the freshly made sketches blogspot.  I began on Crumb Cake, with a Whisper White layer.  I used a pattern from the Attic Bouquet paper set.  The brush stamp is from  Friends 24/7.

I'm off to do some kickboxing.  Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Nice first try. If you are looking for MDS help on You-Tube look for Janet Wakeland. She is a MDS Guru and does tutorials most weeks.Keep playing it will get easier. I do a project once a week to help myself be more familiar with it.Jan's tutorials really helped me. Have Fun!

Gold Star

This is my entry for the Mojo Monday challlenge.  This has been a very busy week, with working 2 jobs, weight training, and writing a final exam, I have had very little time to relax and craft.  I was unable to come up with my own idea and cased this card from Teresa Kline/Paperie Blooms .  Now that I am done my course I have a little more free time. Until next time.

Summer Smooches

Today I am entering my card in two different challenges.  I always like to pick a color challenge with a sketch challenge. I chose the color combo from  Colour Q #130 and the sketch from  Just-Add-Ink . I love this new stamp set Summer Smooches, that will be available April 01-30.  It's super cute a quite versatile. I began my creation a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.  The first layer is Certainly Celery and measures 4" x 5 1/4".  The second layer is an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock and measures 3 3/4" x 5".  I stamped the tulips using Melon Mambo, and the other image using Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil delight. Here are the sketch and colors:

CASE Study Challenge #133 & Happy Birthday

For this weeks CASE study challenge, I used a variety of papers and embellishments.  Michaels was having a 30% off sale on many of their stickers, so a bought a pile and used some in this card.   I used many layers of paper with a variety of patterns along with die cuts & embellishments from Martha Stewart to Stampin' Up! and Creative Memories. Happy Sunday! Alyson
