Freshly Made Sketches: A Trio of Cakes

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Narelle. She's just been picked to be part of the 2024 Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. What an amazing honor and so deserved.  Here’s what I did with it!

A Trio of Cakes

 


I don't know about the rest of you, but there was no cardmaking in my house over the holidays. This card was a struggle - I was totally out of practice. Or maybe it's just because my eye had gotten used to Christmas colors and this is not a Christmas card.  Whatever the reason, this card took an inordinately long time and I'm still not even certain that I like it!

After a number of false starts, I was flipping through my not-yet-used dies and saw this tiny little die peeking out from beneath all the rest.  It's packaged in a little 2x2 bag so just got lost beneath the rest.  It's been there for a while because I don't even see it on the company website anymore. I decided to make it deserved to be on this card. I picked three colors from the rainbow of colors that I love to use then picked a lighter version of each color. For the sentiment, I just went with the longest one I could find.  

Hopefully my cardmaking next weekend will be less of a chore!  And hopefully your cardmaking is never a chore!!  I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

  7. This trio of birthday cakes is so fun, especially with the embossed dot background. I know what you mean about feeling rusty - after the festive break it does take a while to get back into it for sure!
