It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Jennifer Timko.
Last week I talked about having been in my current job long enough now to know my office mate's personalities and being able to create cards specifically for them. Then I checked the calendar and realized the next birthday was for our department director who started just a few weeks ago! I have absolutely no idea what she likes - so I played it safe and went with flowers (but
fun flowers).
I wanted a very rich look so I used my Misti and double-stamped the base colors. It makes the top layer a bit harder to see, particularly on the red flower, but I love the intensity of the colors. These flowers have such a bold and quirky look, I just added a strip of diagonal black stripes to finish it off.
I hope to see you playing along. I love to browse the FMS gallery and see all the different directions you all take the sketch!

ReplyDeleteThat kraft base really makes those fun flowers pop. That red is soooo rich and the yellow and green look amazing next to that big bloom. Great card! Love this. Bev
