It's Wednesday and time for a new sketch at FreshlyMade Sketches! Jen M. has a fun design for us today, with a lot of possibilities. The team came up with such a variety of ideas for inspiration, so be sure to check them out HERE.
My card today uses some new things I got on a trip to Michael's last week when I took my family back to the airport after Christmas. The closest Michael's is two hours away, so this was fun (I do have an amazing Hobby Lobby, so am not hurting haha!). I grabbed some super fun die cuts by Recollections for Valentine's Day projects, and a Cuttlebug embossing folder with hearts. They were perfect for today's sketch!
The die cuts have all my favorite pinks and reds together for a traditional look, plus some gorgeous gold foiling. My center strip (The Paper Studio) also has gold foiling. I used Hammermill White for my base, and Cherry Cobbler (SU!) for the embossed panel. Quick and easy!
Come play along with us. You can choose any shape for the heart in the sketch. Our challenge is open until 3 PM EST on Monday!
I am also linking up with The Card Concept, with this beautiful inspiration photo:

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Judy! Love that you tied everything together with the touches of gold. Golly, I can't imagine not being a stone's throw away from a Micheal's! Guess you will need to visit those adorable grands more often and then you can make more frequent visits to Micheals. :D
