FMS55: Gently Falling


It's Wednesday and time for a new Freshly Made Sketch!   Jen M is the sketch designer this week and gave us this fun one to work with.   There's so much you can do with it!  I think it's fun to work with sketches like this because the possibilities are endless.  You can see that just by checking out the design team's cards this week!  


For my card I chose to flip it AND make it a non-square card.   We finally got a little non-summer weather here in Texas, so I pulled out some fall stamps and colors and put together this beauty.  I just love that woodgrain folder!  I hesitated to buy it at first but now that I have it and have used it, I love it!   

Stamps:  Gently Falling
Ink:  More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso
Paper:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Orchard Harvest DSP
Tools/Accessories:  Big Shot, Woodgrain embossing folder, Regals Buttons, Early Espresso Baker's Twine


Here's another shot from Laila's 3 month photo shoot last week.  :)  She hates being on her tummy, so the photographer must have snapped this one before she realized what had happened!
