It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Brum and here’s what I did with it!
As I'm looking at the calendar, I need to get moving on Easter cards. I saw this sketch and my heart sank a little because those rectangles wouldn't easily be Easter eggs or bunnies or a cross or any typical Easter icon. But then as I was flipping through my stuff hoping for inspiration, the palm dies by The Greetery caught my eye and from there it was a fairly easy leap to create three little scenes.
I really like how this turned out. Maybe I'm ready for fresh spring colors. Or maybe I just adore the these bunnies from Impression Obsessions so it didn't matter at all how the card looked - the bunnies made me smile!
I did struggle with the sentiment. Turns out I don't have many small sentiment strips for Easter and the newer ones that I have just weren't the right look for the card. The one I eventually found came from the way-back file - it was a wood-mounted stamp and could easily be 20 years old - but I like it. Although I am supposedly in the process of organizing and downsizing, what I've just learned it that I cannot get rid of anything because you never know when a 20-year old stamp might come in handy!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

What you did with it all turns out to be one VERY cute Easter card, Kim! I have three great big fat bunnies living under the neighbor's deck that would clear those palms in a hot minute!
