Freshly Made #25
March 13, 2012
Hello
Just a quick post as I am back to work this week. I'm not looking forward to trawling through hundreds of emails, but you do what you have to do, to support your (craft) habit!
I have missed the deadline on this one, but I wanted to share with you the card that I made with last weeks great sketch from Freshly Made . These are versatile sketches that you can dress up or keep simple. I have used some more of the designs from the lovely 'Twitterpated' DSP. It is great to have a design in Basic Gray that is also suitable for less feminine cards. My husband often requests thank you cards from my stash, but doesn't want anything too feminine looking, so I hope that this one will fit the bill. Here is the sketch I used:
I have flipped the sketch on its back for something a bit different and took some liberty in the placement of the ribbon, but other than that, I have stayed close to the layout. The image from the Sale-a-bration set 'Fresh Vintage' has been embossed and despite the detail in the stamp, it renders beautifully. Here it is:
| Project Details | |
| Stamps | Fresh Vintage (Sale-a-bration set), Petite Pairs |
| Card stock & Papers | Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Basic Gray, Twitterpated DSP |
| Ink | Riding Hood Red, Versamark |
| Accessories | Small silver flat back beads (not SU), Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon |
| Tools | Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, 1", 1 1/8" (not SU) and 1 1/4" Circle punches, Dimensionals, Black embossing powder, heat gun |
Thanks for looking!
I love the black-embossed image against the white floral pattern on the RH Red paper, Judy - very striking. The sweet little scalloped border is a beautiful touch. I agree, it's great to have patterned Basic Gray paper (well, it will be when I get some!).
