Freshly Made Sketches 200!


Can you believe we are at sketch 200 at Freshly Made Sketches? Wow!!!   It seems like not long ago that I got the email asking if I'd like to be on the team.  It's been an amazing experience and though I struggle to keep up with it, they keep me around.  I love my team!  Here's our sketch this week:

Now it's pretty basic, so have fun coming up with ideas!   I made this panel for Kathy's Pop Up Challenge and thought it might be fun for my card this week.  I just drew some lines by hand, colored with my Copics, and then added some thicker black lines.  Easy, but fun!

If you need more reasons to play along, look at all the awesome sponsors who are giving away prizes to our participants!  Amazing!   Come play along and good luck!

  6. I thought this card was so cool when I first saw it, and now I think it's even cooler since I read that it's not even stamped -- you totally created it yourself. Wow! I love the bright, beautiful colors and I love getting to see your creations each week on this team.

  7. I'm still amazed every time I see this. That background is so artistic and reminds me of a stained glass window. You are quite the artist! And I'm so glad you got that email asking to join the team way back when. We wouldn't quite be the same without you! :)
