Hello blogging friends! Hope you are enjoying your week!! Our Freshly Made Sketch this week is from my good pal Rita Wright! Rita has come up with an awesome sketch that is SO versatile. I have so much fun making this card!!! I also LOVED the colours over at the Play Date Cafe and so I went ahead and created a Get Well card for a dear friend.
I wanted to create something cheery and happy!!! I was discussing my lack of MOJO with blogging pal Jaydee and she suggested that I go back to the basics and look at cards that I have made and have been proud of. I noticed that I used to use background stamps more and so I went and dug out some old favourites. Thank you Jaydee for your creative and wonderful advice!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: All SU! Hostess Set-Simply Soft, En Francais, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Woodgrain Background Stamp
Papers: Peach Parfait, Pool Party, River Rock, Whisper White
Inks: Copics, Memento Black
Extras: Scallop Border Punch, Pearls, Modern Label Punch, Baja Breeze Ribbon, Butterfly Embosslit Die, Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Word Window Punch
I sure hope you have the time to join us this week at Freshly Made Sketches and be sure to check out the Play Date Cafe!
