Freshly Made Sketch Challenge 4

DSCF8253

My sweet friend Lesley invited me to be a GD at her new challenge blog, Freshly Made Sketches!  Thanks, Lesley!  Here’s the sketch:

FMS4

Lots of possibilities here!  Since the challenge theme is clean lines (no shabby chic here!) I went with the pretty and bold colors found in the Domestic Goddess DP:  Poppy Parade and Baja Breeze!!  Delightful!

Lots of fun dotty stuff going on here!  I used the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder on my tag and big flower:

and the brad and frame from Four Frames continued the theme!  I used a sentiment from Friendly Phrases as well as the “baby” from “Hello Baby” from Petite Pairs…what a versatile set!  I hope you’ll be able to play along with all the talented designers at Freshly Made Sketches too!

Wee Details:

  • Stamps:  Friendly Phrases, Petite Pairs
  • Paper:  WW, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, Domestic Goddess DP
  • Ink:  Poppy Parade

LeAnne this card is so darn cute! So cheery and bright! Love everything about it!
Congratulations on being a GD on Lesley's new site. I just love the site, but I haven't made into any challenges yet! Where does the time go? Don't know how you keep up designing with so many sites, but I know they all LOVE to have you onboard! Hugs.
