Time for a new Freshly Made Sketch! (Uh oh! I have to correct myself). Today's sketch is actually by the amazing Narelle; Amy is awesome too but her sketch was last week. lol It's a fun sketch and you can make such a variety of cards with it. Be sure to go check out the blog to see all the great creations by the design team.
I just got Bermuda Bay and had to use it. I didn't get it back when it was out because I really had just gotten into stamping and was clueless. Now it's going to be back with the new catalog and I'm so excited as I love it. It looks fabulous paired with Melon Mambo! I needed a birthday card for a sweet little girl who just turned three, so I made my card for her. I didn't have any Bermuda Bay dsp, but my awesome stamping buddy Marla suggested stamping on white and making banners with that. I grabbed an old CTMH set that I had laying around and it worked out pretty good!
Stamps: Wild about You, Happiest Birthday Wishes, CTMH It's Your Day
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo
Paper: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Brights DSP stack, Whisper White
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Whisper White 1/4 stitched grosgrain ribbon
Tools: Scallop Circles #2 die, 3 inch circle die, Itty Bitty Punch Pack
It's been pretty warm these this week so Laila got to go out and play in her little swimming pool. She wasn't too sure about it just yet though. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! That Wild About You stamp set is one of the first SU sets I ever bought, and I loved it so much. I still have a tag on my bulletin board with that elephant on it. Fun! Thanks for giving me credit for the great sketch, but it's Narelle's. Love your card!
