I’m participating in this week’s Freshly Made Sketches  challenge, where their talented designers create a sketch for us to try.   The challenge is to follow the sketch while keeping the project clean-lined and fresh.  What I love about this, is that there are so many ways to interpret the sketch and be creative!  With further ado, here is this week’s sketch:

Drum roll for the result please….

The card is made with a Whisper White base.  The diagonal line design is incorporated using a piece of the whimsical Bird Ballad designer series paper (which is on sale right now!) and a Pool Party stitched scalloped border.

The horizontal line design is incorporated with the sentiment label.  “FOR EVERYTHING” is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in black powder.  This stamp is from the Well Said stamp set – a super versatile set with all the popular card greetings.  The Well Written “thanks” die is used to add some layering and pop-out interest.

Here is a close-up of the card:

I had so much fun with this sketch, that I created another card using the Best Dressed DSP.  Not only is this DSP super stylish but it can be used to create so many different looks, using its florals, handbags, stripes and polka dots.

I hope you enjoyed this creative challenge card post.  To see more of my designs, please check out the Ideas section.  If you’d like more information, please check out my About page or e-mail me.  I would love to hear from you with any feedback.
