Freshly Made Flower


It's Wednesday and time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.   Amy is our hostess this week and she had a trendy sketch with some fun angled panels for us this week.   It's one that's totally out of my comfort zone, but I love how my card turned out.  :)   Black and Pool Party are such an awesome combo!  I added in some Sweet Sorbet paper (free during Sale-a-bration) and a lovely layered flower that I cut with my Cameo.  Easy, but I think the colors make it a pretty striking card!

I can't wait to see the gallery this week.  So many possibilities!  

We just bought Laila a water table to play with outside and it was warm enough on Saturday for her to play.  She LOVED it.  She played for about 2 hours nonstop!  Unfortunately it's been all bad weather since then, but we hope for that to go away so we can splish splash some more!

  1. This is gorgeous, Rita, I am LOVIN' that sketch. The photos of Laila are beautiful...do you use a certain setting to get the background to be blurry like that? I love them! She's getting cuter by the minute!

  3. Gorgeous, Rita! You are rockin' the Cameo -- love that flower. And I love the color combo. You'd never know this sketch was out of your comfort zone. Not only am I envious of your mad paper crafting skills, but you are such a good photographer too! Love the pictures of Laila.
