If you like circles you will love our new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Our designer this week is Karren and she assures me that if circles aren't your thing then by all means use the sketch as a jumping point and show us what you've got with whatever shapes you've got up your sleeve!
My fellow design team member Jen Brum unwittingly helped me with my card this week. Often when I'm challenged by a sketch I'll peek at what the design team has put together to see if I can find some inspiration there. In this case I was pretty sure I wanted to use a wreath as my big circle but the stamp set that I had intended to use was much too small for my card (even after deciding to do a 4 1/4 inch square card). Then I spied Jen's card with her die cut wreath and I remembered that I had something similar in my stash. So I cut my wreath in a dark brown then added some wee stitched leaves in fall colors to take the place of the three other circles and I was done!
There are a couple of other challenges that are getting into the autumn mood so I'm playing along with Muse this week as well as Global Design Project.
Thanks for stopping by! My fellow Freshly Made Sketches design team members have created some beautiful cards with this weeks sketch so be sure to check them out. I hope to see you in the gallery!
