This week at Freshly Made Sketches, Cindy Hall is our hostess and she has come up with a fabulous sketch for us this week! I decided to flip the sketch and make a long card, with the panels being on the long side, rather than the short side.
I used an old SU! set that I had wanted for a LONG time! I missed it when it came out and retired but a good friend recently gave it to me. I was over the moon when she did that! Thanks Jane! I loved the colours over at Create with Connie and Mary and I also wanted to play along with the Scrapbook Essentials Challenge to use Wet or Dry Embossing. The red panel is embossed with the Finial Press Embossing Folder from SU!
We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week! Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations! This is also our last week with Lauri Ingrams and Christy Q. Thank you ladies for your hard work and wonderful creations!!!
