Freshly Made Sketch #12 by Jen!

Here we are!  Thanksgiving already!!  I am thankful for many things. but one thing in particular is all my crafty friends out there!  Jen has a great sketch for us this week!


Although I was tempted to do another Thanksgiving or Christmas card, I decided to go with a all occasion card using the stamp set, Creative Elements.  


The background is actually one of the stamps from the set, stamped randomly in three different colors (Pretty in Pink, Riding Hood Red and Pool Party).  The other images are stamped in Riding Hood Red or Pretty in Pink.  I stamped the focal flower three times and cut out layers to add some dimension.  I also outlined the flower using a glitter pen.  


I made this card at 4AM...after a couple of days recovering from the two day craft show.  I don't bounce back like I used to!  LOL

Another fun sketch from the ladies at FMS!  Be sure to stop by and check out the samples, and be sure to enter yours!  

stamps:  Creative Elements
cardstock:  Whisper White, Riding Hood Red
inks:  Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party

  2. Truly we are our own worst critics. I think this is beautiful! I love the layered flower and the colors especially! Don't be surprised to see a CASE of this come Valentine's Day. ;-) Have a happy Thanksgiving!
