Paper Dolls #47 & Freshly Made Sketches #30

Hello!  I have been sneaking in time whenever I can in my craft room, just having a blast.  I feel like I have all this creativity stored up and now that there's an outlet again, it wants out!  :-D  Today I have a card that qualifies for two current challenges.  First up is the Paper Dolls, some gals I love to hang out with in the card blogging world, and second is Freshly Made Sketches, a blog of challenges based on, you guessed it, sketches!  But with a difference--they are looking for cards in a certain style, that of "clean."  From their blog: "We are looking for clean-lined creations but unlike Clean and Simple challenges, we encourage lots of detail and embellishments as long as they maintain a "clean" look to your card."  This is a new blog to me,  found through Jen of Jen's Ink Spot (who happens to be a Paper Doll), looked through the cards posted, and thought, "I think I've found my style!"  I've never been able to say that before, but when I saw the FMS guidelines and examples, I knew I had found my tribe, LOL!  Since the Paper Dolls' challenge was to make a "fruity" card using a sketch, I used the latest Freshly Made Sketch and combined the two:





Supplies
stamps:  PTI--Fruit Fusion: Berry
paper:  PTI--Rustic White; Making Memories--English Garden; stash
ink:  PTI--Pure Poppy, New Leaf; Ranger--Antique Linen Distress Ink
other:  Embossing Folder--Sizzix; Die--Spellbinders Classic Circles; Button--Foof-a-la; Twine--PTI

Jill this is so gorgeous!! I LOVE how vibrant that strawberry is! The patterned paper you used for this card is perfect too and I also really like the pointed banner and coordinating paper!! You nailed this challenge!

Jen Adcock said...

Just perfect! I love the berry and its beautiful brightness. The textured circle mat layer sets it off wonderfully. But my favorite is those delectably inky edges of your card. Love.
