Hello

Hello guys!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

My card:

I have always said I love a sketch challenge, but this one was more than a bit of a challenge for me, all those little squares and getting them all lined up was not easy. I came up with a little trick that helped me a lot. I cut 4 strips of white the size of my squares and then mounted them to the strips, I then could trim the edges to make it all look cohesive. I layered my strips onto a piece of white the size of them all together.

And another trick I learned when making quilt cards was to use to emboss your panel, it hides a multitude of tiny inconsistence in the pattern. 

I used the Tin Tile EF.

I used a variety of DSP from a few packs, I just pulled ones I thought would all go together with my vase of flowers.

The little vase of flowers comes from the Pop Up Petals stamp set.

I stamped the vase using Balmy Blue

and colored the flowers with my blends using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and 

Crumb Cake,

All this was mounted on a piece of burlap look DSP from a retired pack.

My sentiment comes from the Layered Flowers set. 

I layered this all onto a Crumb Cake Base and finished up with a small twine bow and a few yellow adhesive dots.

I really like the outcome and even thought my squares are not perfect it still looks good, I think so anyway. 😉

Thanks for coming by and Happy Stampin!
