Freshly Made Sketches: Bloomin' Birthday

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


My mother-in-law's birthday is coming up and I saw a chance in this sketch to prepare ahead.  She loves flowers and I decided this sketch lent itself to four bright cheerful flowers!

FMS Bloomin Birthday

I didn't actually plan on vases or pots.  My plan was just a big bright stamped flower in each of the squares.  As I was paging through my floral stamps, I realized these tiny little images could fit into those small squares.  I started out planning to color them, but when I decided to do something more detailed in the background with that cutting plate, I kept the images a bit simpler with white embossing.  I'm not sure the sentiment is quite right for my mother-in-law but it does fit the card!

There are so many fabulous options with those four squares.  I thought about animals peeking out.  I thought about a little girl stamp I have in one of the bottom squares with a kite in one of the uppers.  I thought about four mini frames - all different!  It's fun to have a sketch with options - and it's going to be even more fun to see what you each do with it.
