It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our hostess is Cindy Hall and she has come up with a super-fantastic sketch! Cindy has got an amazing eye for design and it shows in her sketch this week. Take a look!
I chose the colors for my card for no other reason that I happened to turn my eye onto my Marina Mist ink pad and realized that I hadn't used in in a while. That's as good a reason as any, I think! I stamped a distressed background first then stamped the floral images, coloring them with blender pens so that the color would look a little water-colory. It actually came out better than I thought it would.
As you can imagine, the Freshly Made Sketches have cooked up some fantastic cards for you this week so make sure you check them out. I hope you can join us in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteLove tha flower image and subtle BG. Great use of the sketch.
ReplyDeleteI would never have picked this was Marina Mist ink - it looks so soft and lovely (can you tell I'm not a fan of it normally??) Your grid background is perfect for each of the squares and really ties the whole design together beautifully.
