Hope social distancing is treating you well, lol. It is such a strange time right now. I thought I would have all sorts of time to craft, but somehow, I seem busier than ever.
So I got this week's card for Freshly Made Sketches in just under the wire. Our hostess this week is the sweet and charming, Judy. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person at a retreat a couple of years back and she is even nicer in person! She's a pretty good crafter too! I love her mixed media.
This sketch gave me fits- I guess I just don't know what to do with multiple circles. But at the last minute, I got a burst of creativity (and a new die from Altenew) and I knew just what I was going to do. Here is your circle-filled sketch!
To create my elements I pieced together two of the flowers completely in white. The third flower was die cut in various colors of cardstock. I still could not help but add a bit of shading with Copic markers, though it is a bit tough to see in this photo.
My black and white striped panel of patterned paper down the right side is from MFT. I stamped a sentiment from the Paint A Flower Poppy Stamp Set using my mini MISTI using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added a few black sequins and some Wink of Stella to the flower and called it done!
I am linking up to The Paper Players Challenge, which is tic tac toe this week; I have used patterned paper, pink and spring~
Hop on over the the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see all of the other amazing inspiration from the talented team. Then I hope you have time to join us this week!

Hi Lee Ann, I never would have know this sketch gave you any difficulty at all. Your fab design makes it look easy and so beautiful! Love the 3D elements with the bold stripes.
ReplyDeleteI haven't taken the plunge with those 3D dies as I too prefer to color, but you've shown how beautifully they can work even for a tricky design! Gorgeous card, Lee Ann! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous flowers and I love how you used the two white ones, which really draws the eye to the gorgeous pop of color. Beautifully done, Lee Ann!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of the bright cheerful flower with the white flowers and the black and white stripe - so eye-catching!!
ReplyDeleteYeow this is gorgeous! The color is so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteLee Ann your trio of flowers is stunning and the central colour really draws the eye against all of that ultra-modern black and white. Thanks for playing Tic-Tac-Toe with us over at The Paper Players this week!
