Freshly Made Sketches #713

Hello friends.  Playing along with the gals over at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge where Jen B has a wonderful sketch for us to follow this week.


While digging through my stash I found an older PB stencil (promenade - 2014) that I think I used once when I first got it and then wondered why I bought it!  I did some ink blending using Fall colors this time and here's what I came up with...


 Extremely CAS but I love the way it turned out!!  I started with Red Velvet ink, then blended into Tangerine Twist and followed with Wild Dandelion ink (all Gina K inks).  I framed the image with a Pierced Feature Frame die cut (PTI) and added my sentiment on a banner die cut from Gina K's ML#5 die set.  The sentiment is from PTI's Autumn Hills stamp set.  


I adhered my stenciled panel, the frame and the banner all to a top folding white card base and then finished with a few PFS Sparkling Champagne Metallic Pearls.  Easy peasy and done.

I am also going to add this card to the current DD Challenge where they are looking for Fall Colors...


 
The Freshly Made sketches challenge is open till Monday, Nov. 24th @ 3:00PM and the Double D challenge is open till Sunday, Nov. 30th @ 8:00PM. 
   

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This one even was hiding from me, too! But I'm more than happy to see it today in all its Autumn glory, my friend! I'm also happy to see I'm not the only one who saw a frame in Jen's Sketch!
Truly beautiful!

CAS perfection, Marcia! I LOVE the way you've blended these autumn colors and all that white space sets these flowers off perfectly!

Marcia, this is SO beautiful! Wowzer. I'm not sure why you originally bought it (impulse?), but it sure seems like it was meant for this challenge, this time, this beautiful use!

Ohhhh, how beautiful this is for the sketch and our DD challenge! Never too CAS to someone like me who admires it so much but rarely accomplishes it. So lovely, Marcia!

Cat Craig said...

So lovely, you took the sketch and colors and made a fabulous card for both challenges.

Jen Brum said...

What a beautiful card! Love those perfectly coloured leaves and the sweet frame! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Yes this is very CAS, But oh so lovely. I get a kick out of crafters when they can use an old supply and make it come to life again like you did. Good to see you here at Double D Challenge.
