Hello again!

Don’t you just love it when you get your hands on fabulous new goodies as soon as they are released? My order from Seven Hills Crafts arrived this morning and I could not wait to play with my new Greetery dies and stamps! So next  up today is my entry for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I really wanted to emphasise my focal point -a stem from the new Lilacs Botanicuts die set by The Greetery so for me the challenge with this sketch was incorporating the two strips on the sketch into my design without compromising that aim.

I ended up using lots of white on white. I cut a panel of card using a die from the Macrame Openwork Base Die Set (I cut it twice to extend the width of the die cutting) and adhered a strip that I had used with the Aida Cloth Texture die.

Finally I added a sentiment from the brand new All Occasions Script Sentiments set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a beautiful combo of pink, purple and green.

I used more items from my New Things box today – the Embroidered Blooms dies, Hoopla mini die set and Aida Cloth die from The Greetery’s Handiwork collection last summer. I coloured each of the die cut elements with distress inks. I was originally intending to cut the hoops from kraft card, but decided to use pink and purple hoops instead – I’m glad I did as I I think the kraft may have overpowered the delicate shades of the palette that I chose.

Thanks for stopping by!
