I am delighted to share our Freshly Made Sketch #688 from Jen B. this week - oh, it's a goodie...
Sometimes the FMS sketches take a little 'stewing' in my creative brain - not this one! I immediately saw water and sky! Here's how I brought that thought to life...
My friend Nance introduced me to this Catherine Pooler Oarsome Dad set a few weeks back - that baby couldn't get into a cart fast enough! We spend a LOT of
hours fishing from our canoe in Summer. This time, it's a card for my
granddaughters to give to their Dad on Father's Day.
A sheet of DSP from HoneyBee's Vitamin Sea and a WF Crafts Rectangle Frame allowed me to create Jen's panels quite easily. That old-faithful MFT Stitching provided the 'movement' and here are my inks and a little closeup:
Paddle your way right over to FMS#688 to see the incredibly fun cards the team has made - you're sure to be inspired to play along!

You had the perfect paper for a background and fantastic stamps to complete the picture! I'm sure your granddaughters will be as delighted with this as their dad!
What a fabulous take on the sketch! This is lovely, Jo x
The background paper set the stage for your trio of canoes, Michele and what's better than a cool pun to go with them.
I love how your brain works Michele, because I sure didn't see sea and sky when I looked at the sketch, but sure do see it after seeing your card! Such perfect dsp for your background rectangles and I love all the stitching in it too! Your trio of canoes fit beautifully into that frame also and this whole card comes together perfectly! Well done my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is wonderful! The colors are fabulous - so calming - I would need calming if someone were going to put me in a canoe for hours!
Your creative brain is clearly working really well at the moment. Such a great take on the sketch and lovely colours too xx
Oooo, I love this, Michele! Glad I enabled you cause this is wonderful! I love the colors.
This is just oodles of fun and your son is going to love it! I love the colors you used and the way you stacked the paddles!
Love these colors, love the canoes, love the punny sentiment! And I love that stiched background! Fun Father's Day card for sure!
Who would’ve thought of rowboats and oars for the sketch? Only YOU! And that sentiment is the perfect finishing touch!
This is such a fantastic card! I just love those canoes and that fun sentiment! This is just perfect for Father’s Day!
Really fun, Michele! I love the "waves" of movement you added to the water -- so fun
The perfect colors for this nautical inspired card. Beautiful!!
What an oarsome card my friend! I love how you interpreted the sketch. You canoe cease to impress me! ;)
What a fun set, Michele. Your card is simply awesome.
You made this simple sketch look very special! Such a cute stamp set, and I lovelovelove the stitched die that provides the appearance of a cover plate, but much more versatile.
Great take on the sketch and wonderful colours on this beauty. The DP and stitched die work their magic such a beautiful clever card.

Oh, I love this, Michele! Gorgeous colours and such a clever way to create movement on the card!
Super sweet... this is such a serene design Michele!
The perfect background for your canoes Michele - and who can resist such a fab punny sentiment? Love it!
Those colours are fabulous and wonderful for a masculine card! And that sentiment is a hoot!
I just love this combination of images and colours!
Oh! What a gorgeous card, Michele! I'm totally in looooove with these fabulous colors.
Loving all of your canoe cards. I have been out of commission and had not seen these wonderful makes. What a fantastic card and clever way to use the sketch. Love your placement of the canoes and the oars.
