Freshly Made Sketches: Kindness

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Brun.


Isn't this a fun sketch?!  I had planned to stick with the repetition in the sketch - maybe flowers or stars, but as I was digging through my stash I saw this birdcage that I just had to have yet I've never used it.

There are three different birdcages in the set - all very elegant and detailed. I layered the birdcage four times and, sadly, the last one got a little off-kilter so it looks a little blurry.

This sketch could go in so many different directions. I can see sticking with it as is and using colorful circles for a wonderfully graphic card.  Or stars for a congrats card. Or soft flowers.  I LOVE sketches like this!

I hope to see you playing along.

The striped paper is Echo Park Bundle of Joy Dots & Stripes 6x6 pad.

  5. Your card is FAB as is!! The diagonal striped frame is gorgeous and the way you used the sketch is amazing. I wouldn't have thought of this looking at the sketch, but after seeing your card, well I can see why you like it so much.
    Versatile and so balanced!
    And the bird cage is gorgeous and elegant indeed.
    But what I like most about the card is the color taupe you used for the sentiment!!! Great, great color!!! :-)
    thanks for sharing,

  8. Hi Kim,

    Oh I'm diggin' this birdcage and branch - sooooo clever!

    Was this a die? I only have like 4 dies ... total, so can't imagine forgetting to use one LOL.

    I think it was brilliant of you to layer it up for height - your card will probably be displayed for a long LONG time!

    Blessings

  10. What a fantastic take on that sketch! The bird cage and the branch are wonderful images to evoke those circles. And if you hadn't mentioned the off-kilter layer I'd never know it was there!
