FMS5: Fun Flowers


Time for another sketch from Freshly Made Sketches!   We have two wonderful designers joining us for the next six months and you don't want to miss their gorgeous cards this week.  A big Texas welcome to Jen Timko and Cindy Hall; so glad to have y'all stamping with us!   My fellow transplanted Texan and friend Anne Marie is also joining us this week as our featured designer, so stop by and say howdy and check out her beautiful creation!    (I'm working on my Texas talk, can you tell?  lol)

This one was definitely a challenge for me and I hope my card actually resembles it.   I kept trying different things and finally settled on one that I like. It deviates a bit from the sketch, but I think you can still see it.  (If not, please pretend that you do, okay?) 


I wanted something bright and fun and I think this fits the bill.   I have been making so many fall and Christmas cards that it was nice to take a break and do something with some of my favorite colors.   I am still loving my Fun Flowers die and the font on Perfectly Penned is to die for!  

Stamps:  Perfectly Penned
Ink:  Island Indigo
Paper:  Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Brights DSP stack
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Fun Flowers die, Brights buttons, White Baker's Twine

Be sure to stop and say hello to my fellow designers:

  7. Rita, this color combo is just gorgeous. I love everything about this card. I have this die and hardly ever remember to use it, but I will definitely dig it out so that I can CASE this beauty!

    I can't do Texas Talk, but I can tell you that in Massachusetts we would say that this is wicked awesome!

  9. Rita, this is fantastic - the color combination is just refreshing and the use of the flowers for the circle element is brilliant!
