Hey you guys!! It's my turn to create a sketch for Freshly Made Sketches - I sure hope you like it - I'm pretty excited as it is my very first!
I often wondered 'which comes first? The card or the Sketch?'
In my own case, it was the card! I knew if I liked the card, the sketch
could be drawn pretty easily - it is my first time, okay! lol
Ready for the card?
I had been 'savoring' this little Woodland Tales Floral die from Spellbinders' for some time- I cut the layers from the same watercolor card as my card panel and blended a bit of lilac ink on the petals, yellow for the center, and greens for the leaves. I just love this soft lavender - don't you? An old friend from Lil' Inkers
came to the party to provide that wonderful, debossed texture on my card panel and
I think the die-cut sentiment from Concord & 9th makes it seem fresh and new.
I know my teammates will have fun with it - after all, they always make our Sketches shine! I just can't wait to see what YOU will create! Are those ideas percolating that I hear?

That is a beautiful shade of lavender, Michele, and a gorgeous flower sitting on the fantastic sentiment! It doesn't look like your a beginner to me. You've done a fabulous sketch and card!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at EVERYTHING! The colors are fab, the texture glorious and the sketch is just special -- what a way to highlight your beautiful flower and the sentiment! Congrats on the sketch, you done good, Michele
ReplyDeleteI love your sketch Michele and your single lavender bloom and bold sentiment (can you cut me a few next time we get together?!) are so pretty against the debossed background! CAS and absolutely perfect...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love your colors you chose your sentiment your flower and even before you started Michele I’m not forgetting your sketches. Everything lined up for a Stunning card . I love it. Thank You For Sharing It. BIG HUGS 🤗 ❤️
ReplyDeleteI don't know the first thing about drawing a digital sketch, but I know I sure do like yours! And I LOVE your card! Pretty colors, sweet flower, and that fabulous chunky sentiment. I don't think you know how to make a stale or outdated card, Michele!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sketch for your first time. Love the card and the sketch.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great sketch and you had just right sentiment and florals to make it shine! LOVE the background....you always pick the best one!
ReplyDeleteYay for your debut sketch and it's a beauty! Lovely shade of lavender and I love seeing that LID cover plate again! Let the percolating begin!

ReplyDeleteNope, I don't like it... I love it! Congrats on your first sketch, Michele. Your "which came first" card is lovely! Busy week, hope I can get crafty!
ReplyDeleteWell done with your first sketch Michele. Love the pretty lilac tones you've use for both the bloom and the sentiment. Thanks for the lovely comment about #7 Bear too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove every single detail!
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered that too, Michele, and I guess it just depends. I'm so glad your darling card inspired the sketch. The soft colors of the flower and matching large sentiment are great design elements. My card is done but will go live tomorrow since I've already posted two today.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the sketch and great way to back into it by making the card first! You know I love the way your brain works! The lavender inking is so beautiful and looks so lovely against the white pierced background. Wonderful card and great sketch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the sketch. This is perfectly sweet!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card Michele. That flower die is fantastic and LOVE the large sentiment die! Great sketch - congrats! xx
