It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Cécile.
I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to force an idea with this sketch that just didn't work. Then I ditched the idea and started cleaning up the piles of failed stamps, cardstock, dies, etc. As I was cleaning up, I saw another stamp set and ta-da! This new idea came together in about 10 minutes. I really need to learn to give up on bad ideas sooner and move on to better ideas!!
I love this bouquet. It's a new-to-me set from Pink & Main and actually is meant to go the other way. It's a frame of flowers with one bouquet at the top and one at the bottom. Such fun flowers!
I don't have many long sentiments but was thrilled to find this one in my stash (also never used!) from Simon Says Stamp that's just right. I think this all just perfect for brightening somebody's day!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

ReplyDeleteAh, the best laid plans... It always amazes me that when I am stumped for a sketch I will suddenly see some random thing that sparks an idea. Glad to know that I'm not the only one this happens to! I love the neutral gingham along with that coral colored strip. And the colorful flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI used your lovely card as a starting point to my card, thank you for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so gorgeous! The gingham paper really works well with the beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Card! I like everything about it. The plaid, the bold flowers and the fun font all come together so nicely.
