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!

    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!

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
