Freshly Made Sketch 9

Hi everyone!  I am so honored that Lesley has asked me to be a guest designer for the month of November on Freshly Made Sketches!  I had such a great time (and still do!) playing along with the Paper Players and Freshly Made..a wonderful, fun, creative group of stamp artists!


Here is my first creation for this month, Sketch 9 by Tui!





Even with our early snowstorm this weekend, I am still not quite in the holiday mood so I went with an Autumn card.  I have done this technique before and love it!  A great way of using one of the A La Carte stamps from the current catalog.



I paired the stamp with Autumn Spice paper, focusing on the colors of More Mustard, Soft Suede and Pool Party.I realized after I made it the sentiment is a little off center...sorry about that!  Don't you hate how you immediately see the flaws in whatever you make??

Check out the other Design Team members cards, and play along with us this week!

stamps:  Triple Treat Flower, Teeny Tiny Wishes
cardstock/DSP:  More Mustard, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Autumn Spice DSP
inks:  Soft Suede, More Mustard, Pool Party, Pear Pizazz
tools: Crystal Effects, Square Lattice Embossing Folders, punches

  3. Welcome to Freshly Made, Lauri! This card is fabulous! I love the square lattice embossing with that DSP, perfect fit. And I love the way you 'reverse' layered the flower. Very unique and very cool!

  5. Lauri, this is beautiful. I didn't realize that the focal image was all from one stamp until you said it was one of the ala carte stamps. Just a great idea to cut it apart and separate the"layers" like that. And you can't go wrong with that color combination either!

  11. I've only recently discovered this wonderful stamp and I never thought to use it this way! These are gorgeous colors for a fall card! And believe me, nobody notices the mistakes that we make. Why are we so hard on ourselves? I'm so glad you're joining us this month at Freshly Made Sketches this month!!
