Hi friends! It's my time to be the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches - always a nail-biter for me! This time around I made a no-frills sketch, but it's still got some room for your clever interpretation.
When I make a sketch I don't work backwards, meaning I don't make a card and then draw up the sketch based on the card. I just come up with the sketch and hope for divine inspiration when it comes to actually making a card with it. 😊 This time around when I sat at my desk to make my card I was lucky enough to have some extra inspiration in the form of the dots challenge at Just Us Girls and the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at The Paper Players (middle row across).
Originally the ribbon and sentiment layers were a bit longer and I tried to add a few staples on the right side of them to be interesting, but my stapler wouldn't cooperate (read: user error) and I made a big mess and had to cut down both layers to get rid of said big mess. However, since I firmly believe in the old adage "there are no mistakes in stamping" I forged ahead with my modified version and all is right in the world.
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some awesome cards with my sketch so please stop on by to check them out. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

LOVE the sketch and I love how you used it - that pop of red on the b/w is so eye-catching!
Great sketch! And I need to round corners more often - such a sweet look! And I love those polka dots!
I am glad you forged ahead with your "mess" because, as usual, it turned out beautifully! I plan to play with your sketch this week too! I've missed the last couple and am having FMS withdrawal! Thanks for playing with my Paper Players challenge this week!
