Jen T. is our designer this week at Freshly Made Sketches #745 and she's featuring a square card!
I don't normally make them but last week I finally got around to hanging a frame on the wall containing one of my watercolored florals - it only took me 10 years - and it inspired my card!
I cut a piece of woodgrain cardstock 4 x 4 inches and then opened the
window using an MFT Wonky Square die. You might better tell why I added the
slim strips around the opening when you see the actual frame...
After creating the frame, it was then the question of what to 'fill' it
with... HoneyBee to the rescue where I found just the right bloom to fit
from their Plumeria die cut background set.
After blending a bit of ink for contrast to the blooms and leaves
and mounting my sentiment, it seemed a bit bland. I often find
inspiration from friends - Lisa, you gave me just the trick to finish
my card with one of these little postage marks!
My postmark - and sentiments, too - comes from
The Greetery's Pretty Postmarks set.
SO! There you go! Now let's go see what inspired Jen's sketch, shall we?

The soft colors of these beautiful flowers are such a lovely contrast with the green leaves and woodgrain frame! This card should be framed too!
