Pardon my late entry (again) for our newest Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I've got to say that the circles on the sketch initially put me in a bit of a panic, but after poking around in my stash I came up with a card that makes me so happy! Karren is our hostess and her sketch got me thinking out of the box!
So, when I first saw the sketch I was thinking about something along the lines of three flowers, or maybe three geometric shapes, or maybe three butterflies. But as I was looking through my stash I stumbled on this JUMBO stamp set from The Ton which had three poinsettias in roughly the same placement as the circles. Perfect!
I embossed the background with some subtle burlap texture because I didn't like the flowers against a plain white background. The poinsettias and leaves have amazing dimension - perfect with the textured background - and the black die-cut sentiment just makes the whole thing pop! I love this card!
Thanks for stopping by! The amazing Freshly Made Sketches design team has some fabulous cards to inspire you to play along with us, so I hope you do!
