Hello hello!! Today I'm the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches and as per our usual, the sketch is fresh and clean! Of course there's lots of room to let your creativity soar and I can't wait to see how you interpret the sketch. On my card I inked up some new Jofy stamps that have been on my wish list since I spotted them ages ago. I stumbled across a retailer in the US who sells them and snatched up a few sets.
My card is further inspired by the gorgeous card Lyndal Higgins has created for inspiration at Muse. The beautiful shades of blue combined with the pop of yellow inspired me to dig out my Crushed Curry, Midnight Muse and Vellum. I colored the images with pencils and I love how it turned out.
ETA: And thanks to Cornelia who pointed out to me that the button on my card qualifies me for the CAS challenge at House of Cards. Thanks Cornelia!
