Freshly Made Sketches: Week 3 of the 400th!

This is the third week of the Freshly Made Sketches 400th sketch celebration!!!  So far we've re-visited sketch #1/100, 200 and today we are going back to sketch #300.  (Next week will be sketch #400 - be very, VERY sure to check it out!)


As is often the case with my cardmaking - this card took a few left turns.  It started out with a wreath, two heavily patterned Christmas papers and the word "joy" - here's where it ended up!!  I guess I was just feeling more fresh and cheerful than Christmasy because this was truly less than a 10-minute card and I'm happy with it.

FMS 400-3

There's nothing particularly special about it.  I adore that die.  It comes in a set of six from Pinkfresh Studios - they are so light and fresh and unique that they add interest on any card.  I pulled out an old pack of paper that I like.  Then I got absolutely giddy when I saw this sequin butterfly was a perfect match.  This card practically made it itself.

Here's my first #300 - details on this post.  I actually still like this (maybe even a bit more than today's card!).  I usually try very hard not to look back  - but I feel like this one might have stood the test of time (all two years of time!!!) since it was first published.

  3. This is such a great card! I"m so glad that I'm not the only one who creates more than one card for a challenge! Both cards are amazing and I'm sure the Christmas one was too!!
