Freshly Made Sketches #33







Today's card is inspired by the sketch over at freshly made sketches. I began with a piece of printed Yellow chevron cardstock.  I cut a Textured White panel to which I adhered a Pear Pizzaz border and Old Olive polka dot ribbon.  The banner mat was cut from some Par Pizazz patterned paper and layered with dimensionals.  The round scallop circle was cut using Real Red cardstock, the ribbon rosette is Cherry Cobbler wide, striped grosgrain ribbon.  In the center of the rosette is a piece of Cherry Cobbler polka dot paper,  a green patterned brad was added to that. 

Thank you for stopping by!

    OMGoodness, this is such a fun card. I love that you used the striped ribbon for your flower - I never thought of that. Thanks for sharing!

Today's card is inspired by two challenges, Create with Connie & Mary & Hand Stamped Sentiments .  I began on a piece of 3 x 6 Pool Party cardstock.  I really love this tone of blue.  The first layer is Pink Pirouette that has been run through my big shot, using the polka dot embossing folder.  I cut a banner using a piece of Regal Rose patterned paper then stamped it.  I also used some pretty designer paper, cut it into a banner, then added two clear rhinestones.  The center banner was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Grey ink.  I finished this card off with some gorgeous ruffled Pool Party ribbon (gotta get more of this, its amazing), a punched flower with a Rose colored button. Thank you for stopping by!  Alyson

This is a set that we will be making at my 'It's Time for Spring' card class.  I chose two challenges for my creation.  The color combo from CR84FN Color Challenge and the sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge . I began my creation on some Whisper White cardstock, then stamped these butterflies using my markers in Only Orange, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue.  You can hardly see in the photo, but I scorded 10 lines at the bottom and added some glitter. Here are the challenges: Please stop by again soon. Alyson

Colour Q Challenge ~150~

This next one was made by my crafter in training: way to go Mads!! Begin on some White cardstock.  Adhere a textured White mat onto the base.  To this I added textured Lucky Limeade and Poppy Parade.  Die cut flowers of your choice in Poppy Parade, followed by some punched out Daffodil Delight butterflies.  For the finishing touches add a coordinating button and sentiment.   Thank you for stopping by!   Alyson
