Freshly Made Sketches #731

Hello friends.  Had a bit of time today to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge where DT member Donna is sharing her first design sketch with all of us.  Take a look...

After I figured out the math, I came up with this CAS card...

 

I started by cutting a piece of white cs at 3 x 4 1/4 and then ink blended it with pink, orange, yellow & green inks.  I stamped my silhouette image in black (Gina K's Autumn Silhouettes) over the ink blended panel and then cut 3 1inch strips and each of the strips into 2 1/8 inch pieces.  I lined them up on a panel that I embossed using SU!'s Subtle embossing folder and then adhered it all to a top folding white card base.


My sentiment is from Gina K's Natural Silhouettes stamp set and I inked around the edges with a black sharpie and also added a piece of black & white baker's twine, before adding foam tape for a bit of dimension.  Three silver metallic pearls (PFS) finished off my CAS card.

There's still a couple days to play along with this challenge and you can check it all out right HERE.  As always, the DT and Donna have some incredible inspiration to get you started! :0)


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

Oh, you must have loved Math in school, Marcia! Your rectangles are perfectly placed and the silhouettes look amazing against the pastel sky! Thanks so much for playing with my sketch at FMS this week!

Beautiful cards Marcia. I love the silhouette scene you've created with the soft and pretty colours of your sky. This is such a creative way to use the sketch. Great work, my friend! xx
