This week at Freshly Made Sketches the great sketch comes to us from Rita. I love the square/rectangles but circles always scare me, LOL. Thankfully with FMS you can change that circle to any shape, so I chose to use one of the Framelit dies and the corresponding Apothecary set.
This card is definitely more "girly" than something I would normally do. My daughter said it reminded her of her great grandma(my awesome Grandma that inspired last weeks FMS card) and looking at it I think she is absolutely correct. My grandparents living room was a mix of pink and soft blues, so I definitely think I was channeling them here, LOL.
Make sure you head over to the Freshly Made Sketches to check out all the other great projects from the design team, and then play along, we want to see what you create with this sketch!

This is such a pretty card Lisa. I love the colours you chose for the flowers and that pretty pink ribbon is so sweet and the perfect addition.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma had a lot of pink in her living room too! Oh, how I loved hanging out in that room, or anywhere with Grandma, for that matter. You have colored the beautiful image so beautifully and the embossing really shows it off. Sometimes we need a girly card.
