It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Jen Timko and here’s what I did with it!
I needed a birthday card for my boss. She's a tough one to craft for - she's definitely a "boss" so I don't know her well. I do know she likes her adult beverages but as my boss I just didn't feel like I could give her a card with drinks. So I decided to focus on colors. She likes patterned clothing and the colors tend to be rich and almost autumn-like. So I did stripes, then I added a subtle pattern in the background. I'm sure I overthought it all - but I do like the results!
I love that I have a slimline-sized embossing folder. I didn't think my main picture showed all of its detail, so here' s a picture with some shadows on it.
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
