Home again! Freshly Made Sketches #643

I can always count on Freshly Made Sketches to get my juices flowing again after time spent away!  Thank you, Linda, for the fabulous inspiration! 

I had a new PF press plate
to add an ocean of fun to my card base and some very old stamps
for all the pieces and parts of Linda's sketch, too!


Sailing circa 2015 from SSS never gets old!


I'd better get this posted - hope I remember how!  lol

  1. I hope you are enjoying your few days away with no bridge mishaps. I have been away for a few days too and am now catching up on what I missed. This is a very clever way to bring a maritime feel to your card. The press plate makes a great background and the angled sea and boat bring a feeling of motion. Hope the occupants aren't feeling seasick xx

  13. When I first saw that press plate, I wondered about how useful it would be, but you have totally answered the question. I love it in blue and of course it's perfect for the way you used it. Your wonderful brain again...
