Freshly Made Sketch #6


What a nice surprise I had when Lesley, from The Paper Players and Freshly made Sketches asked me to create a card for this week's sketch challenge and be featured!!  I have been playing along (although I missed last week...bah!) and hope you do too!  


In the midst of Halloween, autumn and Christmas fair preparation, I decided to use a set from the current catalog that is so much fun....Take a Spin! I added a birthday hat using Pennant Parade, and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

For the color combo, I used this combination from the Color Coach:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Pumpkin Pie.  Hope you like this card, more of a masculine card than I typically make!  Check out the Design Team Samples this week!  They are always wonderful!!  Looking forward to seeing you all play along!

stamps:  Take A Spin, Pennant Parade, Teeny Tiny Wishes
inks:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie
cardstock:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, retired hostess paper pack
accessories:  Cherry Cobbler Twine, punches and Game Spinner

  3. I agree with Lesley! You just made me need this set, and I wasn't really attracted to it until now. I love how you made the one section a different color. And the Pennant Parade hat is the perfect compliment. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us this week!

  11. Lauri, this is such a fun, masculine card! I really should get that set as I love interactive cards; I'd probably spin them all and break them before I could get them sent out. :) You picked the perfect embossing folder; the houndstooth looks awesome with all the other elements!
