Freshly Made Sketches

Happy Saturday everyone!  I have a couple cards to share with you all today inspired by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.


I started this card by masking off the shape represented in the sketch below using masking tape.  I then placed the Marching Leaves stencil over and sponged using Midnight ink.  I stamped and die cut the bloom using Bristol paper so I could easily use my Zig Clean color brush markers to watercolor the flower.  I added some versamark from my Versamark pen to the center of the flower and sprinkled some Wanderlust embossing powder on it and heat set to add a bit of sparkle to the center.  I then stamped the sentiment and mounted onto a card base.

Here is the sketch.


While I had my supplies out I created another similar card, changing out the bloom color.


For this flower, I used my Zig Clean Color markers again.  This time just scribbled with a yellow and pink marker, spritzed with water to let the colors blend.  LOVE how it turned out!

I will add one of these over at Seize the Birthday.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
