It's Freshly Made Sketches day! Tui designed this fun sketch for us this week; isn't it cool? Because it is a new month, we also have 2 new featured designers so be sure to stop by and say hello to Lauri and Christy.
My take on the sketch uses my favorite new stamp set, Gently Falling and one of my favorite new color combinations. Cherry Cobbler is so fantastic and by using it with neutrals, it really shines! My friend Ann inspired me to try using vellum to soften the background of my card. I love the look of it on this one and will definitely be adding it to more cards in the future.
Stamps: Gently Falling, Thank You Kindly
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Paper: vellum, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
