Freshly Made Sketches #133- A sketch by Cindy L.

We had a lot of rain this week. I know it's better than snow, but I'm still longing for some nice spring weather. I tried to channel spring with my card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

I used the largest stamp in the Daydream Medallions and a embossed 2 1/2 inch circle in the middle to mimic the sun. The sentiment stamp is retired, but I thought it fit perfectly for this card.

Freshly Made Sketches- a sketch by Cindy H.

We've had a taste of spring this week with one day even in the 70's. My tulips are starting to make an appearance, which makes me very happy. I had to go with flowers again for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I may only use flowers on my cards until I actually have some real ones in my yard!

Freshly Made Sketches #130- a sketch by Linda

For this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I stuck with the white on white look that I love, but tried to liven it up with Real Red and Basic Black.  I love this color combo and it doesn't have to be only for Valentine's day.

Here is my take on the sketch:

 

It might not show up very well in the photo, but I did layer the flower.  I stamped it 3 times. I cut the whole flower out using the coordinating flower die from the Secret Garden Framelit set.  I cut the other two along the lines of the center and middle petals and layered them with dimensionals.
