Freshly Made Sketches 491

Hi all!  Today is the sketch reveal at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is Kim.  Her sketch has some fun vertical panels that I thought would be perfect for some wide washi that I've had in my stash for a while.



I've been dying for an excuse to use this gorgeous wide washi and this sketch was just the inspiration I needed.  I adhered it to a piece of white cardstock then cut it into strips so that I could then frame the strips with some dark colored cardstock.  I agonized over the color of the die-cut sentiment and cut many versions in many different colors before deciding on a mediocre black.  I don't love it but at least you can see it (not something I can attribute to some of the other colors I tried!).

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm sure our Freshly Made Sketches gallery will be full of great interpretations of this sketch - just like our design team cards!  Join us!

Supplies
Paper:  Solar White (Neenah); Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink); Basic Black (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories:  Hand Lettered Thanks die (WPlus9); Calming Bouquet washi tape (Altenew)

    Oh how pretty! Great use of that Washi, Jen. I think your black sentiment looks good. It picks up on the dark leaves!

    Love, love that washi tape and how clever to use it for the panels! The black sentiment really pops so I think black was a good choice!
